Preparing the bed for sleep
Contexto cultural
Making the bed is often the first task a child is taught to perform independently to instill a sense of responsibility. In villages, 'making the bed' often involves bringing out bedding that was stored in a wooden chest (shinduk) during the day. Because of the heat, bedsheets are changed very frequently, and 'making the bed' often includes 'jhara' (dusting/shaking) the sheet. In some traditional homes, one must wash their feet before stepping onto a 'made' bed to keep it 'shuchi' (pure).
Use the '-ta' suffix
Saying 'Bichana-ta kora' sounds much more natural when you are talking about a specific bed in the room.
The Moshari Rule
If you are in Bangladesh or West Bengal, 'making the bed' at night almost always implies you should also hang the mosquito net.
