सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Fine dust (미세먼지) is a major daily concern. People check air quality apps every morning. If the level is 'bad', closing windows is the first thing everyone does. In traditional houses, windows were made of paper. Closing them didn't just block light; it was essential for the 'Ondol' heating system to work effectively. In high-rise apartments, windows are often double-paned for soundproofing. 'Closing the window' is a common way to signal you want privacy or quiet from the busy city. It is considered rude to leave windows open when the communal air conditioning or heating is on. The last person to leave a room usually checks if the windows are closed.
The 'ㄷ' Rule
Always remember '닫다' is regular. Don't change it to '달아요'!
