Bedeutung
Having a telephone conversation.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The greeting 'Байна уу?' is so iconic that it's often used as a joke or a way to see if someone is paying attention in person. It is considered slightly rude to hang up without a proper closing like 'За баяртай' (Okay, goodbye) or 'За за' (Okay, okay). In rural areas, people often share one phone or go to a high point to get signal, making 'утсаар ярих' a communal or planned event.
The 'Baina uu' Rule
Always start your call with 'Байна уу?' even if you know who is calling.
Don't forget the -аар
Saying 'Утас ярих' sounds like the phone itself is talking!
