Is “close your tiffin box” correct way to say? Or can we say it in a diffrent way as well?



Thanks

Hi Arvind,


I had never heard of a tiffin box before, but after a quick Google search, I see that it’s used to carry food. When you ask about “closing” the box, do you mean putting a lid on it, or do you mean putting the pieces together to pick it up and take it somewhere?


Best,

Thanks Amy. I meant putting a lid on it. so what do we say in common day to day conversation. Put lid on it or close it?

Either one is OK, really. I don’t believe that one is better than the other!
