뜻
To make something inaccessible or shut.
문화적 배경
Closing the door (dar bastan) can be a sensitive topic. In traditional homes, an open door signifies welcome. Closing it might imply privacy or that the host is not 'at home' to guests. The practice of 'Dakhil bastan' involves tying a piece of cloth to a holy site. It represents a spiritual bond and a request for a miracle. When a stew or a dessert like 'Sholeh Zard' reaches the right consistency and sets, Iranians say it has 'bound' (basteh). The phrase 'Bakht-ash ra bastan' (to tie someone's luck) is used when someone, particularly a young woman, is unable to find a spouse, implying a curse has 'closed' her fortune.
The 'Mi' Rule
Always remember the 'mi-' prefix for present tense. 'Man bandam' is a common mistake; it must be 'Man mibandam'.
Electronics
Never say 'close the light'. Iranians will understand you, but it sounds very foreign.
