"Yarım elma gönül [hatır] alma. "---> Literally " Half an apple taking the heart" which really means, " you can win people´s heart with small things [gestures, gifts ].
For example; Say, you visit your friend , If you just buy him/her even a small present, you can win his/her heart. When you buy your friend a present, it doesn´t have to be an expensive thing. A small present or something that you made at home [cake] will make you win your friends heart. Because he /she will think that he/she is remembered and cared by you. Even if you can´t afford to buy something, then you can make a homemade cake to take that person. Your thinking will be appreciated by that person.

I am glad you like Turkish phrases, and in general your interest in Turkish Language. Good for you ! I always say, learning Turkish is a big investment as Turkish is getting more popular in the world day by day, I see people have big desire in Learning Turkish which makes us happy.
The smilarity of phrases between languages are cool, that is may be because we as human beings react things in life in smilar ways and express them in different language. Thats because we all are the sons and daughters of "Adam and Eve" 
I´m from Bulgaria and in Bulgarian language there are many words from Turkish language. So I find it very interesting to learn Turkish. But the structure of sentences is quite different. I notice that near the border areas much Turks understand Bulgarian, but Bulgarians do not understand Turkish. This is strange.
This is a very good idea to explain idioms. Greetings!
