意味
Relationships are more valuable than wealth.
文化的背景
In the countryside, hospitality is a law. You don't pay for a meal or a bed in a ger; you are a guest. This proverb reflects that 'gift economy' where kindness is the currency. In Ulaanbaatar, 'Tanil Tal' (connections) is how things get done, from getting a doctor's appointment to finding a job. This proverb is the ethical justification for this social system. This is the time when you 'collect' your 100 friends. Visiting as many people as possible is a way to maintain the social capital mentioned in the proverb. During Naadam, the community comes together. The proverb is often heard in the context of wrestlers or horse trainers helping each other out of mutual respect rather than for prize money.
The 'Inflation' Joke
If you want to make Mongolians laugh, say 'Зуун сая төгрөгөөс зуун найз' (100 million tugriks over 100 friends). It shows you understand both the proverb and the current economy.
Don't be literal
You don't actually need exactly 100 friends. It just means 'many.'
