Pointing out a location.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Pointing with the index finger is often considered rude. Use an open palm or a chin gesture when saying 'Тэр тэнд байна'. Spatial orientation is often based on cardinal directions. 'There' might be replaced by 'to the North' in a traditional Ger setting. In the city, landmarks (like the State Department Store) are used as anchors for 'тэнд'. When pointing out an elder, it is more respectful to say 'Тэр хүн тэнд байна' rather than just 'Тэр тэнд байна'.
