Bedeutung
Predicting rain.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Rain is referred to as 'khishig' (blessing). Predicting rain is a sign of being in tune with nature. Rain often leads to massive traffic jams. People use this phrase with a hint of frustration regarding the commute. It is considered good luck if it rains during a long journey or a new beginning. Mongolians have many 'shinj' (signs) for rain, such as the way smoke rises from a ger or how insects behave.
Add 'аа' for naturalness
Saying 'Бороо орох байх аа' makes you sound much more like a native speaker than the textbook version.
Don't say 'fall'
Remember, rain 'enters' (орох). Never use 'унах' (fall) for rain.
