Bedeutung
To tidy and clean one's home.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Khāneh-tekani' is a major cultural event. It's not just cleaning; it's a symbolic purging of the old year's bad luck. Similar to Iran, cleaning the home is a sign of respect for guests. A 'clean house' (khāna-i pāk) is a point of pride for the head of the household. In Tajik Persian, the word 'rūb-u-chin' is sometimes used alongside 'tamiz kardan' to describe the specific act of tidying up and arranging.
