Bedeutung
Trying a small amount of food.
Kultureller Hintergrund
When offered a bowl of tea, you should at least take a small sip (амт үзэх) before putting it down to show respect to the host. Buryats have a rich tradition of dairy products. Offering 'white food' (цагаан идээ) for a taste is a blessing for a traveler's journey. In the capital, 'амт үзэх' is used in marketing for 'free samples' in supermarkets. The 'дээж' or first portion is always tasted by the head of the household or offered to the fire before others eat.
The 'See' Rule
Whenever you 'experience' something in Mongolian, try using 'үзэх'. It works for movies, books, and tastes!
Don't Refuse
If a nomad offers you a taste, always take it with your right hand and take at least a tiny sip.
