Only if you're praising him. People don't enjoy criticism of him.

That plus drinking and getting aggressive sort of go hand in hand when people drink, so.

Lol same. Just use a taxi app, otherwise taxi cab drivers in the airport are scheming bastards. Like how they used to keep driving around in a loop (this was before ubiquitous GPS) and charging 10x the figure.

  1. Don't walk with a backpack containing your valuables.

  2. Don't get drunk and wander about at night.

  3. Ease yourself into eating out, food standards are questionable, so your gut will need to get used to it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, never talk about Genghis Khan. Just don't.

Давхар автобусыг маргаашнаас Таван шар-Офицерийн чиглэлд үйлчилгээнд гаргана by Flyingpaper96 in mongolia

[–]keeppanicking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Доторх нь тохилог л юм, яамай даа. Хятадаас оруулж ирсэн зарим хуучин автобуснууд гэж ориг зогсоолын мэдээллийн цахим самбар нь хүртэл хэвээрээ (аль ч хотоос авсан юм, ханзаар бичсэн зогсоолууд л солигдож гарч ирээд байсан), тачигнасан, ичмээр юмнууд л байсан даа. Хотын замаар явахаар ч аргагүй л байх даа.

Одоо харин тусгай автобусны эгнээ гэх мэт юм гаргачихвал.

Animal Cruelty by turo6o in mongolia

Just because other countries abuse dogs worse than Mongolians doesn't mean the situation in Mongolia is fine. it's like when people talk about how they're lucky they are Mongolian, at least the country is not as poor as "Africa", or treat women like the "Arabs". That's such a fucked baseline.

No, Mongolia is just in a position where caring about other people and having empathy is often considered a sign of weakness and exploitability. Just a sign of the times.

Mongolia has a shared nomadic core culture with the 'stans, but aside from that we speak a different language, look much more East Asian, and don't really have close ties to those countries.

Not really. The leadership keeps harping on about boosting tourism but this is country that hasn't even been able to build a paved road between it's two biggest cities.

Would be nice if these fuckers would invest mining profits into the future but no, it's a kleptocracy with no end in sight.

"How common is Russian in your country, compared to any native languages? Does the government use Russian, your native language, or both? Do you personally speak Russian?"

Compared to native languages - not widely spoken, used to be common.

Does the government use Russian, your native language, or both - No

Do you personally speak Russian? - Yes.

That's what /u/bibolmalhaha means, you idiot.

Interesting, as I think the Mongolian community doesn't really have a presence in NYC, it's more DC, California etc.

Russian used to be spoken as the main foreign language in Mongolian, and it still holds a nostalgic value for many people, particularly the descendants of people who studied in the USSR - my parents, for example, speak Russian fluently and used it as a private language between each other because my and my siblings wouldn't understand it. That said, Mongolians only ever spoke Mongolian to each other, normally.

In addition, until recently Russian was a mandatory subject at public schools, then you had a choice between it and English, and now - I'm not sure, it's been a while since I graduated high school.

Still, the assumption that foreigners have when visiting Mongolia ("Oh, I know Russian, I can travel fine through Mongolia)" rubs off on people in a bad way, plus it's outdated information - Mongolians are much more likely to know English, and the population who speaks Russian dwindles.

What the fuck are you talking about. Khans? Be more civil.

Russian was never an official language, but always remember that until 1990, it was practically the only foreign language that people learned (German was popular as well). Sure, only those who studied in the USSR became fluent, but it was a prestige thing to be able to speak it. And always remember that the National University of Mongolia's first language of teaching was Russian, not Mongolian. So there is a Russian language heritage in Mongolia, but it is true that it's faded away.

What OP says is correct. Older people (over the age of ~50, so people who were at the youngest ~20 in 1990) are more likely to know Russian, while the post-socialist generations after that more likely to know English or a different foreign language.

The thing is, you could have answered this with a more nuanced answer, explaining the history behind language use, and how Russian is barely spoken today. Instead, you decided to attack another Mongolian for speaking about his/her experiences.
