Persian (Farsi) term

توری پشه‌مند

Persian (Farsi) to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Novel - دائی‌جان ناپلئون by ایرج پرشکزاد
Greetings,

Is توری پشه‌مند the same as تور پشه‌مند ? Does it refer to a window covered with some kind of mosquito protection or to something else?

صدای دوازده ضربه زنگ ساعت دیواری زیرزمینی را شنیدن. خدایا, نصفِ شب شده بود و من هنوز نخوابیده بودم. این ساعت تا یادم میآمد در خانۀ ما بود و اولین بار بود که صدای زنگ ساعت ۱۲ شب را میشنیدم. شاید این بیخوابی هم دلیلی بر عاشق شدنم بود. در نیمه تاریکی حیاط که از پشت توری پشه‌مند سایه‌های درختها و بته‌های گل را بصورت اشباح عجیب و غریبی میدیدم وحشت برم داشته بود. چون قبل از اینکه در بارۀ عاشق شدن یا نشدنم به نتیجه برسم از سرنوشت عاشقی که مرور کرده بودم وحشت کردم

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

mosquito-net

Simon,

It is "توري پشه بند" not "توري پشه مند". it is a kind of net that prevents mosquitoes and flies from entering the room.

A mosquito net offers protection against mosquitos,[1] flies, and other insects, and thus against diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and various forms of encephalitis, including the West Nile virus,[2] if used properly and especially if treated with an insecticide, which can double effectiveness.
