뜻
To shut a window, preventing air or light from entering.
문화적 배경
Privacy (Sitr) is paramount. Windows are often kept closed or covered with heavy curtains to prevent passersby from seeing into the family living quarters. Due to extreme heat and sandstorms, windows are often hermetically sealed and rarely opened during the day. 'Closing the window' is a safety measure against the 'Ghubar' (dust). In the mountains of Lebanon and Syria, winter can be very snowy. Closing windows is part of 'winterizing' the home to keep the heat from the 'Sobba' (wood/gas heater) inside. In crowded Cairo, closing the window is the only way to get a moment of silence from the constant honking of cars. It's a survival skill for sleep.
Politeness
Always add 'min fadlak' (m) or 'min fadlik' (f) when asking someone to close the window to avoid sounding bossy.
Dialect Alert
If you use 'nafidha' in a street market, people will know you are a student. Use 'shibbak' to sound more like a local.

The 'Gh' Sound
Practice the 'Gh' in 'yughliqu' by gargling water. It's the same muscle movement!
Privacy First
If you are a guest, don't open or close windows without asking the host first; it's considered a breach of privacy.
