Significado
To feel better emotionally.
Contexto cultural
Mongolians often use this phrase when returning from the countryside. The 'khudöö' (countryside) is seen as a spiritual battery charger. The concept of 'Hiimori' (Wind Horse) is related. When your 'Hiimori' is high, your 'setgel' is 'sergekh'. It's about spiritual vitality. In the city, this phrase is the #1 reaction to the first rain of summer, which washes away the dust and 'refreshes' everyone's mood. Hosts will often offer tea or food saying it will 'refresh' the guest after a long journey.
Use the '-чих' suffix
Adding '-чих' (сэргэчихлээ) makes it sound much more natural and emphasizes that the mood shift happened suddenly and completely.
Nature is the key
If you want to impress a Mongolian, use this phrase when you are in the countryside. It shows you appreciate the spiritual connection to the land.
