Sometimes, it's hard being multilingual..
I wanted my husband to shut the blinds, so I told him to "turn down the blinds", that didn't sound right, so I added "shut out the light with that thingy" pointing at the window🤷🏼♀🤦🏼♀

@Pretzel slang, "thingy" is an informal word used to refer to something whose name is unknown, forgotten, or when you can't be bothered to use the correct term. It's a general placeholder for a small item, device, or even an event, especially when you don't have the specific word for it.
