معنی
Wiping dishes after washing.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'diskställ' (dish rack) is ubiquitous. Many Swedes prefer to let dishes air-dry in the rack rather than using a towel, as it is considered more hygienic. Finland is famous for the 'astiankuivauskaappi' (dish drying cabinet), a cupboard above the sink with wire shelves. This makes 'torka disken' almost unnecessary in Finnish-Swedish households. Similar to Sweden, but the term 'tørke opp' is more common in some Norwegian dialects for the same action. In these cultures, drying dishes immediately is more common due to lack of built-in drying cabinets, making the phrase 'dry the dishes' a more frequent part of the daily routine.
