Signification
Indicating that a shop or business is not operating.
Contexte culturel
The 'pauză de masă' (lunch break) is common between 13:00 and 14:00. Small shops will display an 'Închis' sign during this time. On religious holidays (marked with a red cross in the Orthodox calendar), many local businesses remain 'închise' all day. Malls are rarely 'închise', staying open until 22:00, which contrasts with smaller street-side 'boutiques'. Being 'închis în sine' is sometimes seen as a sign of 'supărare' (being upset) rather than just being an introvert.
Check the sign
If you see a sign that says 'Revin imediat' (I'll be right back), the shop is temporarily 'închis' but will open soon.
Gender Agreement
Always check if the object is masculine (închis) or feminine (închisă). This is the #1 mistake for beginners.

The 'Curent' Rule
If a Romanian asks you to keep the window 'închis', just do it. It's a deep cultural belief about health.
Introverts
Calling someone 'închis' isn't always an insult; it can just mean they are private people.
