Significado
The state of the atmosphere.
Contexto cultural
Herders observe the behavior of sheep to predict 'Цаг агаар'. If sheep stay close together, a storm is coming. In Ulaanbaatar, 'Цаг агаар' is discussed mostly in relation to air pollution (smog) during the winter. The 'Eternal Blue Sky' is a deity. Complaining about the 'Цаг агаар' too much is sometimes seen as bad luck. Mongolians have specific names for weather patterns, like 'Shar narnii khuar' (the first warm sun of spring).
The 'Tenger' Shortcut
If you forget 'Tsag Agaar', just say 'Tenger' (Sky). Everyone will understand you are talking about the weather.
Don't say 'Weather is good' to a herder in a drought
A sunny day might be 'beautiful' to a tourist but 'bad' for a herder needing rain. Context matters!
