뜻
Resting the body.
문화적 배경
Sleeping with your head to the North is strictly avoided as it is believed to bring bad health and nightmares due to magnetic alignment. Waking up before sunrise (Brahmamuhurta) is considered auspicious. Sleeping late into the morning is often looked down upon in traditional families. In villages, people often sleep on 'Gundri' (straw mats) or 'Sukul'. The whole family might sleep in one large room for warmth and safety. In the Kathmandu Valley, traditional houses have specific floors for sleeping (usually the upper floors) to keep away from the damp ground.
The Intransitive Rule
Never use '-le' with 'Sutnu'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
Honorifics Matter
Don't say 'Sut' to your teacher or father-in-law unless you want to start a family feud!

Use 'Aram Garnu' for Guests
When a guest looks tired, saying 'Aram garnuhos' sounds much more hospitable than 'Sutnuhos'.
Head Direction
If you're staying in a traditional Nepali home, check which way your head is pointing before you sleep.
