Significado
Shutting an entrance.
Contexto cultural
Never shake hands or pass money over the threshold of a closed or open door. It is considered bad luck and can lead to a quarrel. In many Ukrainian villages, leaving the gate (хвіртка) open is a sign that the owners are home and welcome guests, while a closed gate means 'do not disturb'. In apartment buildings, the 'tambur' (a small shared hallway for 2-3 flats) has a door that must always be kept closed for security. Before a long journey, Ukrainians often 'sit down for a minute' (присісти на доріжку) before closing the door and leaving the house to ensure a safe trip.
The 'Always Plural' Rule
Never try to make 'двері' singular. Even if it's one door, it's always plural.
Don't Slam!
In Ukraine, slamming a door (грюкати) is considered very rude unless you are intentionally showing you are angry.
