意思
Command to shut a window.
文化背景
Windows are often kept open all day for 'Vayu' (air) but closed strictly at sunset to keep out mosquitoes and follow traditional evening rituals. In state transport buses, passengers often manage windows themselves. It is common to ask the person sitting next to the window to close it if the wind is too sharp. During heavy rains, it is considered helpful to close windows in common areas (like building staircases) without being asked. In small apartments, windows are the only source of natural light. Closing them during the day usually implies someone is sleeping or the AC is on.
Politeness Matters
Always use 'kara' instead of 'kar' if you are unsure of the social hierarchy. It's safer to be too formal than too rude.
Retroflex 'D'
Make sure to pronounce the 'd' in Khidaki with your tongue curled back, or it might sound like a different word.

The 'Lava' Alternative
