Contexte culturel
In traditional nomadic culture, time was measured by the sun and the shadows on the ger's floor. 'Daraa ni' was a relative term, not a precise minute-marker. In the capital, 'Daraa ni' is often used to politely decline a request or a sale from a street vendor. Mongolians value relationships. 'Daraa ni' can be used to move a business discussion to a more social setting like a dinner. There is a specific order to serving guests. 'Daraa ni' is used by the host to signal the next course of hospitality.
The 'Tegeed' Combo
Combine 'Тэгээд' and 'Дараа нь' to sound like a native storyteller. 'Тэгээд дараа нь...' is the ultimate transition.
Don't forget the 'нь'
Saying just 'Дараа' can sound like you are a beginner. Adding the 'нь' makes you sound fluent.
