Bedeutung
A room with no noise.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Silence is highly valued in Lithuanian social etiquette. Being 'tylus' is often seen as a sign of modesty and respect. In modern Lithuanian offices, 'tylūs kambariai' are standard features to accommodate the introverted nature of many Baltic workers. Traditional wooden houses were designed with a 'quiet room' (seklyčia) away from the heat and noise of the stove. Due to thin walls in older apartments, a 'tylus kambarys' is a major selling point in real estate.
