Bedeutung
Feeling content with something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'sufficiency' is key. In the steppe, having 'enough' is better than having 'too much', which is hard to transport. Customer satisfaction is a relatively new but very popular concept in the Mongolian service industry, often using the noun 'Сэтгэл ханамж'. Contentment (сэтгэл ханах) is taught as a way to end suffering by reducing desire (шунал). It is common to post a photo of a new purchase with the caption 'Сэтгэл ханасан' to show you recommend the seller.
The 'Review' Trick
If you want to sound like a local on Mongolian Facebook groups, just comment 'Сэтгэл ханасан' on any post about a good product.
Don't forget the -д!
Without the dative case, the sentence sounds broken. Always link the object to the feeling.
