Ам алдах

ам алдах

To slip up

معنی

To accidentally say something secret.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In traditional Mongolian culture, silence is often more respected than speech. A person who can hold their 'Am' (mouth) is considered wise and reliable. Because news was the only way to know about weather or danger, 'losing the mouth' could historically lead to misinformation in the steppe. On Mongolian Facebook groups, people often post 'Ам алдчихлаа' when they leak rumors about celebrities or TV shows like 'The Voice Mongolia'. In Mongolian business, 'Ам алдах' is a common way to humbly apologize for saying something too early in a negotiation.

💡

Use '-чих'

Always add '-чих' (ам алдчихлаа) to sound more natural when talking about a past mistake.

⚠️

Not for Betrayal

Don't use this if you meant to tell the secret. It will make you sound like you're lying about it being an accident.
