뜻
The physical act of closing a window.
문화적 배경
The 'Propuh' myth is real. You will see people closing windows in the middle of summer if they feel a slight draft, fearing it will cause 'upala' (inflammation). In coastal regions, windows are often kept closed during the day with shutters (škure) down to keep the stone houses cool, and opened only at night. Windows are often 'na kip' (tilted). You might hear 'Zatvori ga skroz' (Close it all the way) if it's only tilted. Younger Croatians use 'zatvori prozor' for browser tabs just as much as physical windows.
Politeness
Always add 'molim te' or 'molim Vas' when asking someone to close a window to avoid sounding bossy.
The Propuh Rule
Be prepared for a debate if you want to keep a window open in a shared space in Croatia!
