Significado
Inquiring about something.
Contexto cultural
In traditional settings, it is considered rude to ask an elder's age or a person's salary directly. Use 'асуулт асуух' with caution in these areas. In Mongolian universities, students are increasingly encouraged to ask questions, but traditionally, it was more common to listen quietly. Saying 'Асуулт асуухаас бүү ай' (Don't be afraid to ask questions) is a common modern teacher's phrase. When visiting a ger, questions about the 'well-being of the herd' (мал сүрэн тарган тавтай юу) are a ritualized form of 'асуулт асуух'. On Mongolian Facebook groups, people often start posts with 'Нэг асуулт байна' (I have a question) to get quick community help.
The 'Ablative' Rule
Always remember: you ask 'from' someone. Use -аас, -ээс, -оос, or -өөс on the person's name.
Don't say 'Хэлэх'
English speakers often say 'Асуулт хэлэх'. This sounds like you are reciting a question rather than asking it.
