Doing
Laundry
You
may have a clothes washer in your own apartment, a machine that
automatically washes clothes. If not, there may be clothes washers nearby in
your apartment building or in a business called a Laundromat. Those
nearby will probably require coins to operate. Put clothing and laundry
detergent into the machine. Then start the machine. If you pack too many
clothes into the washing machine it will not work correctly. The washing cycle
may take 30 minutes or more. When the washing machine has finished washing the
clothes, take them out and put them in a different machine, a dryer. The
dryer may also cost money.

लत्ता–कपडा
ठेट अमेरिकी पहिरनभन्दा
नेपाली वा भूटानी पहिरन फरक हुन्छन् । अमेरिकामा तपाईंले इच्छाअनुसार लुगा लगाउन सक्नुहुन्छ
। कपडा लगाउँदा मौसम र आफू कहाँ जाने हो ख्याल गर्नुपर्छ ।
Clothing
Typical American clothing is different from
traditional Nepali or Bhutanese clothing. In America you are free to wear
whatever clothing you choose. But in choosing what to wear you should consider
the weather and where you will be going.

परम्परागत लुगा
तपाईं चाहेका बेला
आफ्ना परम्परागत लुगाहरू: सारी–चोलो, दौरा–सुरूवाल,
र नेपाली–टोपी लगाउन सक्नुहुन्छ ।
तर सन् २००१ सेप्टेम्बरपछि केहि अमेरिकीहरू नौलो पहिरनमा कसैलाई देखे त्यस्ता लुगा
लगाउनेलाई अविश्वास गर्न थालेका छन् । तर थोरैले मात्र त्यस्तो शंका गर्न सक्छन् ।
तपाईंले लगाउनु भएको परम्परागत पहिरन देखेपछि धेरैजसो अमेरिकीहरूले स्वागत गर्नुका
साथै तपाईंको संस्कृतिबारे जान्न इच्छा राख्न सक्छन् ।
Wearing
Traditional Clothing
You are free to wear traditional clothing
such as a Sari, Cholo, Daur-Suruwal, and Topi whenever you choose. However,
since September 2001, some Americans have become distrustful of those who wear
clothing that they are not familiar with. A few people may express suspicion.
But most Americans will welcome you and want to learn about your culture when
they see you wearing traditional clothing.

Some schools, especially middle schools and
high schools, have rules that prohibit certain types of clothes. You should

blouses with the company color or company logo. Clothes should always be clean
and not get in the way of your movement and activities on the job.

गरी लुगा लगाइदिएको हुनुपर्छ ।
Clothing
for Cold Weather
Weather
is quite different in different places in the United States and in different
seasons. Some parts of the United States get very, very, cold in the winter.
When it is cold outside, you should wear clothes that are thick and protect you
from cold wind. Wear several layers of clothing instead of one. Wear warm socks
and shoes that completely cover your feet. Cover your head and ears with a hat
and your neck with a warm scarf. Wear gloves on your hands when it is very cold
or there is snow. Before you go outside, listen to the weather report to find
out how cold it will be. Make sure children are dressed warmly before they go
to school or go outside to play.

गर्मीका लुगा
अमेरिकाका केहि भागहरूमा
वर्षामा धेरै गर्मी हुन्छ । घरबाहिर गर्मी छ भने हलुका या पातला लुगा लगाउनुहोस् ।
गर्मीमा बाहिर जानु छ भने आधा बाहुला भएको सर्ट र हाफपेन्ट लगाउनुहोस् । धेरै कार्यालय, स्टोर,
स्कूल र अन्य भवनभित्र एयर–कन्डिसन हुन्छ,
चिसो लाग्छ भने न्यानो लुगा लैजान सक्नुहुन्छ । त्यस्ता कार्यालय, स्टोर,
स्कूल र अन्य भवनभित्र पूरा बाहुलाका सर्ट लगाउन सक्नुहुन्छ
।
Clothing
for Hot Weather
Some parts of the United States get very,
very hot in the summer. When it is hot outside, you should wear light clothing.
You can wear short sleeve shirts and shorts when you will be outside. Because
many offices, stores, schools, and other buildings will be air conditioned,
however, you may want to carry a warmer piece of clothing, such as a long
sleeve short, to wear when you go back inside to shop, work, or for school.

जुत्ता
अमेरिकीहरू पुरै गोडा
ढाक्ने खालका छाला वा कपडाका जुत्ता लगाउँछन् । कहिलेकाहिं, विशेषगरी गर्मी मौसममा मान्छेहरू औंला देखिने जुत्ता वा चप्पल लगाउँछन् । स्वास्थ्यका
कारणले धेरै शहरका स्टोर,
चमेना–गृह (रेष्टुँरा),
र अन्य भवनमा खाली खुट्टा भित्र पस्न कानुनी प्रतिबन्ध हुन्छ
। त्यस्ता बेलामा अरू मान्छे के लगाउँछन्, के गर्छन्, हेर्नुहोला ।
Shoes
Americans usually wear shoes made of leather
or cloth that cover the entire foot. Sometimes, especially in the summer, some
people may wear open-toe shoes, sandals, or flip-flops. For health reasons,
many cities have laws that prohibit people from entering stores, restaurants,
and other buildings in their bare feet. Observe what other people are wearing.

पहिरनका सामान र नाप
सबैका लगाउने लुगामा
नापको जानकारी दिइएको हुन्छ । धेरै लुगाहरू, जस्तै: टि–सर्ट,
पाइजामा, कट्टु, स्कर्ट,
मोजा र पञ्जा आदिमा प्रायःजसो ‘एक्सएस’,
‘एस’,
‘एम’,
‘एल’,
वा ‘एक्सएल’
लेखिएको हुन्छ । ‘एक्सएस’ भनेको अतिरिक्त सानो,
‘एस’
भनेको सानो, ‘एम’ भनेको मध्यम,
‘एल’
भनेको ठूलो र ‘एक्सएल’ भनेको अतिरिक्त ठूलो हो । अन्य लुगामा नापका आधारमा परिमाण तोकिएको हुन्छ, जस्तो: पुरूषले लगाउने पेन्टमा एकथरी नाप कम्मरको हुन्छ भने अर्को थरी नाप लम्बाईको हुन्छ । यी दुई नाप इन्चमा हुन्छ । पेन्टको
आकार ‘३४–३०’
लेखिएको छ भने कम्मर ३४ इन्च र लम्बाई ३० इन्च हो । जुत्ताका
आकार आफ्नै नापमा हुन्छन् । एकपटक किन्दा ठिक्क मिल्ने लुगा वा जुत्ता पाइयो भने त्यहि
नाप कतै कागजमा टिपेर राख्नुहोस् । अर्कोपटक कपडा वा जुत्ता किन्दा त्यहि नाप काम लाग्छ
।
Clothing
Sizes
Clothing for all is marked with size information. Many
clothes, such as t-shirts, pajamas, underwear, skirts, socks, and gloves are
often marked as XS, S, M, L, or XL. “XS” means extra small, “S” means small,
“M” means medium, “L” means large, and “XL” means extra large. Other clothing,
however, will have a size given by measurements. For example, men’s pants often
have two measurements: the first is the size around the waist in inches and the
second is the length, also measured in inches. Pant size '34-30' means the waist
in 34 inches
and the leg length is 30
inches. Shoes have the own special size measurements.
When you find the correct size of a particular piece of clothing or shoes, it
is a good idea to write down the
size so you will know the next time you are shopping.
