المعنى
Lifting a hand to speak.
خلفية ثقافية
It is traditionally polite to use the right hand when raising it for a vote or to speak. The left hand is often associated with less formal or 'impure' tasks. Students are taught from age 6 that 'Гараа өргөх' is the only way to get a teacher's attention. Shouting out is strictly discouraged. In the past, raising a hand (or a whip) was a way for riders to signal to others across long distances on the steppe. In Ulaanbaatar's corporate world, 'Гараа өргөх' is used in brainstorming sessions to maintain 'order' (дэс дараа).

الأسئلة الشائعة
10 أسئلةUsually, 'Бууж өгөх' is used for surrender. While you might physically raise your hands, the phrase 'Гараа өргөх' specifically implies the social signal to speak or vote.
You can, but it sounds like a title or a general concept. 'Гараа өргөх' (with the suffix) is what you actually do.
Yes, absolutely. It is used in professional meetings and government sessions.
That usually signals excitement, victory, or being overwhelmed, not a desire to speak. Stick to one hand for questions.
You say 'Би гараа өргөсөн'.
Not really, but in very casual settings, people might just say 'Гар!' to mean 'Hands up for a vote!'
No, that is 'Гар хүрэх' (to touch/hit) or 'Гар далайх' (to threaten). 'Өргөх' is neutral/positive.
Only if a player is signaling to the referee. For lifting weights, use 'өргөх' with the specific weight name.
It's better to just raise a finger or make a small gesture. 'Гараа өргөх' (full arm) might be too dramatic for a waiter.
There isn't a direct opposite phrase, but 'Гараа буулгах' means to lower your hand.
