Question
When a Turkish person says 'you have my heart' 'Sen kalbimdesin' what is the English equivalent?

Answer
Christina:
First of all in Turkish literal translation means "you are in my heart".
Word by word translation would be

sen : you
kalb : heart
de : inside [in this context]
sin : status of you

However, languages does not translate word by word, as you know. The closest equivalent would be " My heart is full of your love ".
