معنی
Directional instruction.
زمینه فرهنگی
The Ger is always oriented South. This makes 'Зүүн' (East/Left) the side of the sun's arrival and the traditional place for men's activities. In the city, people use 'Зүүн' and 'Баруун' to refer to the two main halves of the city (East and West Ulaanbaatar). The East is often associated with specific deities and the direction of enlightenment in Mongolian Buddhist practice. When passing items or gesturing inside a Ger, moving in a clockwise direction (which involves moving toward the East/Left first) is considered auspicious.
The Hand Rule
If you are driving, always say 'Зүүн гар тийш' (Left hand side) to be 100% clear you aren't talking about the compass direction.
Ger Etiquette
When entering a Ger, always move to the left (clockwise) to show respect for the traditional flow of the home.

Don't Guess
