خلفية ثقافية
It is considered bad luck to wear inside-out clothes, even if they are 'шинэ хувцас'. Always check the seams! You must wear new clothes on the first day of the year to ensure prosperity. If you can't afford a whole outfit, at least new socks or a new hat will suffice. When giving 'шинэ хувцас' as a gift, it is polite to put a small amount of money in the pocket to wish the recipient wealth. The 'Black Market' (Narantuul) is the traditional place to buy 'шинэ хувцас', but modern malls like Shangri-La are now equally popular for global brands.
Complimenting
If you see a friend in something new, just say 'Шинэ хувцас уу?' with a smile. It's a great icebreaker.
Plurals
Don't say 'хувцаснууд' for your own outfit. It sounds like you are wearing ten shirts at once.
