뜻
Shutting a door securely.
문화적 배경
Shutting a door loudly is considered a sign of anger and is culturally discouraged. It is believed to disturb the peace of the household. In traditional Newari houses, doors are very low. 'Dhoka thunnu' often involves a specific wooden latch called a 'teku'. In villages, doors are often left open during the day to welcome neighbors. Shutting the door during the day might signal that the family is busy or away. During certain pujas (rituals), the door of the prayer room (puja kotha) is shut to allow the priest or family to meditate in private.
Politeness Matters
Always add '-hos' (thunnu-hos) when speaking to elders or strangers to avoid sounding like you are giving a harsh command.
Don't Slam
Slamming a door (dhoka padkaunu) is very rude in Nepali culture. Always shut it gently.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문Yes, 'jhyal thunnu' is perfectly correct and very common.
It can mean both. Context usually tells if you just mean shut or actually locked with a key.
'Thunnu' is more about the act of shutting/confining, while 'lagaunu' is a softer, more general term for closing.
To a younger sibling or close friend, it's fine. To anyone else, use 'thunnu-hos'.
No, for 'shut your mouth', use 'mukh banda gar'. 'Mukh thunnu' would mean physically gagging someone.
