زمینه فرهنگی
In the countryside, 'удаан явах' is often a sign of respect when approaching someone's 'ger' (yurt). Rushing in on a horse is considered rude and aggressive. In the city, 'удаан явах' is the primary complaint regarding the public transport system and the 'zero-speed' traffic jams during rush hour. Mongolian business culture can sometimes feel 'удаан' to Westerners. Decisions are often made through consensus and long discussions over tea. Traditional Mongolian medicine often suggests that 'удаан явах' and 'аажуу тайван байх' (being calm and slow) are essential for recovering from 'hii' (wind) related illnesses.
Use with 'байна'

Don't call people 'удаан'
Calling a person 'удаан' (You are slow) can be an insult to their intelligence. Stick to describing their movement.
