Directional instruction.
خلفية ثقافية
The Ger is the primary reference point. West (Right) is the male side, housing saddles and weapons. Guests should be aware of this when entering. Sacred sites (Ovoos) are always circled clockwise, keeping the object on your right (Баруун). Going 'Зүүн тийшээ' (left/counter-clockwise) is considered disrespectful. In the city, people use 'Баруун' and 'Зүүн' more than 'Left' and 'Right' when giving long-distance directions across town. When passing items, using the right hand (баруун гар) is mandatory. Using the left is a major faux pas.
The Ger Rule
Always remember: South is front, North is back, West is right, East is left.
Don't say 'Right' for 'Correct'
If a teacher asks if your answer is right, don't say 'Баруун'! Say 'Зөв'.
