High praise for something done well.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Praise is often followed by a small humble gesture. If someone says 'Mash sain' to you, it's polite to deflect slightly or just say 'Bayarlalaa' (Thank you). In the Mongolian grading system, 'Маш сайн' is the verbal equivalent of the highest marks. It is what every student hopes to hear from their teacher. When visiting a ger, using 'Mash sain' for the dairy products (tsagaan idee) is a sign of great respect for the hostess's skill. In Ulaanbaatar's business world, 'Mash sain' is used to close deals or confirm that a proposal meets all requirements.
The 'Baina' Rule
When using 'Mash sain' as a full sentence, always add 'байна' (baina) to sound natural: 'Маш сайн байна!'
Don't Overuse
If you say 'Mash sain' to every single thing, it loses its value. Save it for things that actually impress you.
