意思
A window that is shut.
文化背景
In high-altitude areas like Addis Ababa or Debre Berhan, keeping windows 'ዝግ' (closed) at night is essential to avoid 'bird' (the common cold/flu), which locals believe is caused by night air. Ancient stone churches in Lalibela feature 'ዝግ መስኮቶች' carved into the rock that don't actually open; they are symbolic and decorative. A closed window with curtains drawn is a strong signal of 'do not disturb' in Ethiopian neighborhoods. Privacy is highly respected. In the dusty dry season (Bega), 'ዝግ መስኮት' is a practical necessity to keep homes clean from the red dust of construction.
Word Order
Always put 'Zig' first. Amharic is very strict about Adjective-Noun order.
Metaphor Alert
Don't use this to mean 'closed-minded' yet; stick to physical windows until you reach B2 level.
