Cultural Note
Herz is central to many German romantic expressions. 'Herzchen' or 'Herzi' are used as pet names. 'Von ganzem Herzen' means 'with all my heart.' The heart symbol is just as popular in German culture as elsewhere, and 'Herz' appears in countless compound words like 'Herzschmerz' (heartache), 'Herzblatt' (sweetheart), and 'herzhaft' (hearty).
