Asking if credit cards are accepted.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Ulaanbaatar, card payment is the norm. Even small street kiosks often have a POS terminal or a QR code for mobile banking. In the countryside, cash is still highly valued due to unreliable internet. Always carry some cash when leaving the city. The rise of QPay has made physical cards less common. You might hear 'QPay-ээр үү?' as a response to your card request. Service staff might not always say 'Please' or 'Thank you' in the Western sense, but using 'үү' at the end of your question makes it polite enough.
Shorten it
In a busy queue, just saying 'Картаар уу?' (By card?) is perfectly acceptable and very natural.
Check the machine
If the POS machine looks dusty or is tucked away, it might not be working. Always ask 'Картаар төлөх үү?' before they ring everything up.

QPay is King
If your card fails, ask 'QPay байгаа юу?' (Is there QPay?). Most Mongolians use this mobile QR system now.
