Bedeutung
Praising the taste of food.
Kultureller Hintergrund
When entering a ger, you are often served milk tea (suutei tsai) first. Even if you don't like it, taking a sip and saying 'Амттай байна' is a sign of respect. During the Lunar New Year, families compete to make the best buuz. Praising the buuz with 'Маш амттай' is the highest compliment you can give the mistress of the house. Young Mongolians use 'Goy' and 'Amttai' interchangeably on social media to describe the booming cafe culture in the capital. Because meat is central to the diet, praising the flavor of the meat is seen as honoring the animal's life and the herder's work.
Add 'Baina'
Adding 'байна' (baina) at the end makes you sound more fluent and polite.
Don't overdo it
Saying it 20 times during one meal might sound insincere. 2-3 times is perfect.
