Engaging in reading literature.
문화적 배경
Mongolians traditionally wrap books in silk (khadag) to show respect. It is common to see books placed on the highest shelf in a home. The 'National Book Festival' happens twice a year. It's a major event where authors meet readers and people buy books at discounts. There is a superstition that if you leave a book open, the 'knowledge will fly away' or it's bad luck. The word 'Nom' is also a common part of names, like 'Nomuundari' (Ocean of Wisdom/Books).
Start with Children's Books
If you are A1, try 'үлгэрийн ном' (fairy tale books). The language is simple and repetitive.
Respect the Book
In Mongolia, never place a book on the floor or sit on it. It is considered very disrespectful to knowledge.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, you can use 'унших' for any reading, but you wouldn't say 'ном унших' unless you are reading an e-book on your phone.
'Унших' is the verb (to read), while 'уншлага' is the noun (reading/the act of reading).
It is neutral. It can be used in any setting.
You can say 'Би номонд хайртай' (I love books) or 'Би номын цагаан солиотой' (slang: I am crazy about books).
No, Mongolian does not have articles like 'a' or 'the'. 'Ном унших' can mean 'reading a book' or 'reading books'.
The most common past tense is 'уншсан'.
Yes, especially in Ulaanbaatar, there is a vibrant cafe culture where people go to 'ном унших'.
No, use 'Би сурч байна' (I am studying/learning) for that.
It is 'сонсдог ном' (listening book).
There isn't a direct opposite phrase, but 'ном уншихгүй байх' means 'not reading books'.
