معنی
To move a window to a closed position.
زمینه فرهنگی
In many coastal cities, closing windows at dusk is a ritual to keep out 'muriçocas' (mosquitoes). The 'corrente de ar' (draft) is taken very seriously; people will often close windows even in summer if they feel a breeze. In Luanda, windows are often closed during the 'cacimbo' (dry, cool season) to keep out the dust and the morning chill. During the cyclone season, 'fechar a janela' is followed by 'trancar' (locking) to ensure safety against high winds.
The Vowel Shift
Remember: 'Eu fEcho' (closed E) but 'Você fEcha' (open E). This is a common pattern in -ar verbs.
