Contexto cultural

In Ulaanbaatar, traffic is a major reason people say 'Би яарч байна'. It is a socially accepted excuse for being late or leaving early. Traditionally, rushing was seen as a sign of lack of wisdom. However, 'яарч байна' is used when moving animals before a storm. In Mongolian business, saying you are in a hurry can be a tactic to show you are a busy, important person, but it can also be seen as poor planning. When saying this to an elder, it is polite to add 'Уучлаарай' (Excuse me/Sorry) to soften the bluntness of the urgency.

⚠️
