The phrase is composed of the possessive pronoun իմ (my) and the noun սիրտ (heart) with the definite article suffix -ը (the).

Did you know?
- The Armenian word for 'heart' սիրտ is a cognate of the English word 'heart' and the Latin 'cor', as both originate from the Proto-Indo-European root *kerd-.
- In Armenian culture, saying something comes from the սիրտ can imply deep sincerity, but it can also refer to a 'gut feeling' or intuition, blurring the line between the heart and the stomach.
- While սիրտ means 'heart', it is also the root of the Armenian word for 'love', which is սեր.
