意味
Intentionally ignoring a wrong act.
文化的背景
In Nepali society, 'keeping the peace' (shanti) is often valued over 'confrontation.' This leads to frequent use of 'आँखा चिम्लनु' in daily life to avoid small arguments. The phrase is a staple in political discourse to criticize the 'Apathy of the State.' It is often used in slogans during protests. Elders in the family often 'close their eyes' to the minor rebellions of the youth to maintain 'Maryada' (dignity) and avoid public embarrassment. In many Nepali offices, there is a culture of 'Chakari' (sycophancy). Subordinates might 'close their eyes' to a boss's errors to keep their jobs.
Context is Key
Always use this for 'wrong' things. If you ignore a beautiful sunset, you don't 'आँखा चिम्लनु', you just 'ignore' it.
Don't use for Sleep
If you tell a teacher 'I closed my eyes in class,' they will think you ignored a crime, not that you napped!
