I am not english native and I am trying to understand - what is that mean: the word 'here' (looks like it an introduce word)
But what sence it carry there?
'Now' or 'please' or something like 'open heart with pleasure'?
Here, let me help you with those flowers.

Re: Here, let me help you with those flowers.
Yes, I would say it's a kind of filler or introductory word. You could replace it with please or something similar.
I have never heard 'open heart with pleasure'!

Re: Here, let me help you with those flowers.
One context for this: you walk up to someone needing help and say "Here, let me help you ..."
The "here" is simply a way of telling the person you are there - "I'm here, listen to what I'm about to say".

I'm afraid I don't have access to your dictionary, only to mine.
Oh, and it's not especially wise to use a dictionary when one doesn't know a word. We learned to do so in primary school.

Re: Here, let me help you with those flowers.
I'll try it in Russian:
Здравствуйте, Атарион. Тут речь идет о "здесь" как будто это означает ", Ну, давайте мне Вам помочь с цветами". Не все слова имеет буквальное значения, поэтому тоже не приходится их искать. Это просто легкий нюанс, особого смысла нет. Иногда люди добавляют к фразам и предложениям слова, без особого прямого смысла, а только показывает эмоциональный аспект. Больше там ничего нету. Дают оттенки эмоции предложениям, основный смысл остается одинаковым.
(Translation: pretty much what was said in English before me).
