Footwear that needs cleaning.
Contexto cultural
Never wear dirty shoes past the threshold of a ger or apartment. It is considered a major insult to the host's cleanliness and spiritual well-being. Shoes are considered 'low' objects. Touching someone with a dirty shoe is offensive. If you step on someone, you must shake hands. Ulaanbaatar is one of the dustiest capitals. Keeping shoes clean is a daily struggle and a sign of high social standing or discipline. Traditional 'Mongol Gutal' are designed to be practical. Even if they look 'bokhir' on the outside, the inner layers are kept meticulously clean.
The Handshake Rule
If your dirty shoe touches someone else's shoe, shake their hand immediately to show there is no ill will.
Use 'болчихлоо'
Instead of just saying 'is dirty,' say 'became dirty' (бохир болчихлоо) to sound more like a native speaker.
