意思
Switching off an electrical light.
文化背景
Turning off lights is seen as a sign of a well-managed household. Leaving lights on in an empty room is often criticized as 'fultu kharcha' (unnecessary expense). When extinguishing a 'Diyo' (oil lamp) after a ritual, it is often considered disrespectful to blow it out with your breath. People use their hands to fan it out. In Kathmandu, 'Light off garnu' is very common. However, using 'Batti nibhaunu' is often seen as a sign of better linguistic command or a more traditional upbringing. During 'Earth Hour,' Nepali NGOs use the slogan 'बत्ती निभाऔँ' (Let's turn off the lights) to promote environmental awareness.
Be Specific
Always use 'nibhaunu' for lights to sound more like a native speaker than someone using 'banda garnu'.
Past Tense Trap
Remember that 'nibhaunu' takes 'le' with the subject in the past tense (Maile, usle, tapainle).
