意味
The day before today.
文化的背景
In nomadic culture, 'yesterday's' pasture quality determines today's herd movement. People often ask 'Өчигдөр хаана хоносон бэ?' (Where did you spend last night?) as a standard greeting when meeting travelers. In the city, 'өчигдөр' is often used to complain about the previous day's traffic jam (түгжрэл), which is a universal conversation starter. During the Lunar New Year, 'өчигдөр' refers to 'Bituun' (the eve), a day of massive preparation and eating to fullness. If you missed a call or an event 'өчигдөр', it is polite to apologize specifically using the word to show you remember the timing.
Sentence Starter
Always try to put 'Өчигдөр' at the very beginning of your sentence to make your meaning clear immediately.
Tense Match
Never use 'Өчигдөр' with 'байна' (is/am/are). Use 'байсан' (was/were) instead.

よくある質問
10 問Yes, but it's less common. 'Би ажилласан, өчигдөр' sounds like an afterthought.
'Өчигдөр' is the standard word for yesterday. 'Өнгөрсөн өдөр' is more formal and literally means 'the day that passed'.
Simply say 'Өчигдөр өглөө'. No prepositions needed!
Absolutely. It is the standard term for all levels of formality.
No, the word itself stays the same, but the verb ending might become more formal (e.g., -лаа vs -сан).
No, it specifically means the day before today. For 'the other day', use 'нөгөөдөр' or 'саяхан'.
Use the genitive: 'Өчигдрийн мэдээ'.
It's often quite soft, almost like a breathy 'h' or a very light 'g'.
Forgetting to change the verb to the past tense.
Yes, 'Өчигдөр орой' means yesterday evening/night.
