Bedeutung
Physical action of sealing a window.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'huzat' (draft) is considered a serious health risk. Closing the window is often seen as a medical necessity. Windows are often 'tilt-and-turn' (bukó-nyíló). 'Bezárni' means turning the handle all the way down. In old 'bérház' buildings, windows are double-layered. You must close both to stop the noise. Closing windows (digital) is a common way to say you are finishing a task.
The 'Be-' Rule
Remember that 'be-' means 'in'. You are putting the window 'into' its frame.
Don't forget the -ot!
Without the '-ot', people will understand you, but it sounds very broken.

The Huzat Factor
If a Hungarian asks you to close the window, do it quickly—they likely fear the draft!
