意味
A period of 12 months.
文化的背景
The 'Year of the Animal' (Жил) is so important that people often avoid making big life changes (like marriage or starting a business) during their 'Jil Orok' (the year their birth animal returns). The 'New Year' (Шинэ жил) on January 1st is celebrated with a 'Salat Olivier' and a decorated tree, a tradition inherited from the Soviet period, but it is distinct from the traditional Lunar New Year. Historically, years were counted by the number of winters survived. A person's resilience was measured by how many 'жил' they had successfully navigated the steppe. In Ulaanbaatar, 'жил' is used in the context of 'annual sales' or 'year-end parties' (жилийн эцсийн хүлээн авалт), which are major social events for companies.

よくある質問
12 問Only if you are talking about your zodiac sign (e.g., 'Би морь жилтэй'). For numerical age, use 'настай'.
'Жил' is a duration of 12 months. 'Он' is the specific calendar year (like 2024).
You can say 'жил бүр' or 'жил болгон'. Both are very common.
It is neutral and used in all contexts, from slang to official government reports.
Use 'өнгөрсөн жил'.
Use 'ирэх жил'.
It means it is your zodiac year (e.g., you are a 'Rabbit' and it is the year of the Rabbit).
Only if you aren't using a number. 'Олон жилүүд' (many years) is okay, but 'хоёр жил' (two years) must be singular.
Use 'жилд'. For example, 'жилд нэг удаа' (once a year).
No, 'month' is 'сар'. A 'жил' contains twelve 'сар'.
It means 'New Year' and usually refers to the January 1st holiday.
Not directly, but 'олон жил' can imply a long time in one's life.
