Bedeutung
Letting air into a room.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Agaar Selgekh' ritual: Even in winter, windows are opened for a few minutes daily to let out 'bad air'. Avoid 'Cross-drafts': Opening two opposite windows is seen as a health risk (салхи цохих). The 'Toono' (roof window) of the Ger is the ancestor of the modern window concept. In winter, people check the 'AQI' (Air Quality Index) before opening windows due to smog.
Polite Requests
Add '-ээрэй' to the verb (Нээгээрэй) to make it a polite request instead of a command.
Winter Warning
In Ulaanbaatar, check the air pollution app before opening the window in winter!
