i dont know which meaning of "heart" ur really looking for but ima list major ones for example.

1. organ of blood circulation
心臓 (it reads "shinzou", written in kanji)

2. feelings, emotion etc
心 (it reads "kokoro", written in kanji)

3. breast, chest. *usually seen in figurative phrases*
胸 (it reads "mune", written in kanji)

4. center or core of something
中心 (it reads "chuushin", written in kanji)

from ur edited addition i guess 2 or 3 is what ur searching for


and about "mune ni"
also i cant explain it excatly without the whole sentence,
but it will be equal to "to (someone's) heart" or "to (someone's) chest" in most cases.

mune ni means the same as if you were to say "kokoro ni"--inside my heart

inside the chest(in an emotional way, not physically)...people use it to point out a feeling inside of them.

actually now that i think about it

mune ni can just mean like "on my chest" literally

Yes! Seems like you both did explain it very well

Thank You very much!

not good
