معنی
Asking for a time.
زمینه فرهنگی
Time is often viewed more fluidly. If someone says 'Хэзээ ирэх вэ?' and you answer 'Одоо' (Now), it might actually mean in 15-30 minutes. Historically, 'when' was tied to nature. Questions about 'when' to move camp were answered by observing the stars or the growth of grass. In Ulaanbaatar's corporate world, 'Хэзээ?' requires a precise answer. Punctuality is becoming a sign of professional respect. On Mongolian Facebook or Instagram, 'Хэзээ?' is the most common comment on event posts or product advertisements.
The 'V' Rule
Always remember to add 'вэ' after 'Хэзээ' in a question. It sounds incomplete without it.
Duration Trap
Don't use 'Хэзээ' for 'How long'. Use 'Хэр удаан' for duration and 'Хэзээ' for the moment something happens.

Duration Trap
Don't use 'Хэзээ' for 'How long'. Use 'Хэр удаан' for duration and 'Хэзээ' for the moment something happens.
Indefinite Power
Add 'ч' (ch) to 'Хэзээ' to say 'never' (with a negative verb) or 'anytime' (with a positive verb).
Mongolian Time
Be patient with answers to 'Хэзээ?'. 'Одоо' (Now) is often a suggestion, not a promise!

10 سوالNo, Mongolian does not have grammatical gender. 'Хэзээ' is the same for everyone and everything.
No. To say 'since', you use 'Хэзээнээс' (from when).
Yes, but you should use the formal verb forms and the polite particle 'та' (you). For example: 'Та хэзээ ирэх вэ?'
'Хэзээ' is general (When?), while 'Хэдийд' is more specific (At what point/time of day?).
Use 'Хэзээ ч' followed by a negative verb ending in '-гүй'. Example: 'Би хэзээ ч явахгүй' (I will never go).
Yes! 'Тэр хэзээ ирсэн бэ?' means 'When did he come?'.
This is a more informal, slightly blunt way of asking 'When is it?'. It's common among friends.
Usually, people just write 'hze' or 'хз' in very casual Latin-script Mongolian slang, though 'хэзээ' is short enough to type out.
Use 'Хэзээ хүртэл?'.
Not really. It's an interrogative pronoun. You can't say 'The when was good.'
