معنی
Someone who works diligently.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the countryside, an 'ажилсаг хүн' is someone who can handle all aspects of nomadic life, from animal husbandry to ger maintenance. It is a survival-based compliment. In Ulaanbaatar, the term is now used for office workers and entrepreneurs. It is a key trait looked for in the competitive job market. During the socialist period, 'Хөдөлмөрч' (Laborer) was a title of honor. 'Ажилсаг' is the more personal, character-driven version of this legacy. Mongolian parents often use this phrase to teach children that success comes only through labor. It is a core part of 'хүмүүжил' (upbringing).
The Suffix Secret
Learn the suffix '-саг'. You can use it to describe many traits, like 'тусламтгай' (helpful) or 'цэцэгсэг' (flower-loving).
Don't Overuse with 'I'
While you can say 'Би ажилсаг хүн', it's more humble to let others say it about you. In an interview, it's fine, but in social settings, it might sound a bit boastful.

Pair with Adverbs
To sound more native, use 'үнэхээр' (really) before it. 'Тэр үнэхээр ажилсаг хүн шүү!' sounds very natural.
The Golden Rule
In Mongolia, calling someone 'ажилсаг' is often considered a better compliment than calling them 'smart' or 'rich'.
