意味
To wash clothes.
文化的背景
In Brazil, it is very common to have a 'área de serviço' (service area) in apartments where the washing machine and a 'tanque' (manual sink) are located. Most people dry clothes on a 'varal' (clothesline). In many Portuguese villages, you can still find 'lavadouros públicos' (public washhouses). Although rarely used now, they are preserved as historical sites where women used to gather to wash clothes and socialize. In some regions, washing clothes in rivers is still a reality and a communal social event, similar to historical practices in Portugal and Brazil. There is a strong cultural idiom 'lavar a roupa suja' which means to argue about private matters in public. It is considered very impolite.
Use the Singular
Even if you have 20 shirts, say 'lavar a roupa' (singular) to sound more like a native.
Avoid 'Fazer'
Never say 'fazer a roupa' unless you are a fashion designer making a dress!
