Signification
Putting on clothing.
Contexte culturel
Never step over someone's clothes. It is considered a deep insult and bad luck. When putting on a Deel, always insert the right arm first to invite good energy. Despite the cold, fashion is highly valued. 'Goyo' (fancy/cool) dressing is a major social currency. Hats are never placed on the floor as they are the highest point of the body and spirit.
The 'Try On' Rule
Always use 'өмсөж үзэх' in shops. It makes you sound much more natural than just saying 'өмсөх'.
The Accessory Trap
Never use 'өмсөх' for watches or glasses. It's the #1 giveaway that you're a beginner.
