Signification
Watching television programs.
Contexte culturel
TV is often the centerpiece of the living room or ger. It is considered polite to offer guests something to watch if they are staying for a while. During Tsagaan Sar, the TV stays on all day, broadcasting traditional greetings and wrestling. It's the background noise of the holiday. In Ulaanbaatar, cable TV (like Univision or SkyMedia) is standard, and 'зурагт үзэх' often implies using these specific services. Many herders use solar panels to power their TVs, making 'зурагт үзэх' a symbol of modern nomadic life.
Drop the case
In casual speech, don't say 'Зурагтыг үзэх'. Just say 'Зурагт үзэх'. It sounds much more natural.
Don't use 'look'
Avoid 'Зурагт харах' unless you are literally just looking at the TV set as an object (e.g., checking for dust).
