意思
A large residential building.
文化背景
In the countryside, a 'big ger' usually has 5 or more 'khana' (lattice walls). A 5-wall ger is standard, while an 8-wall or 10-wall ger is considered massive and prestigious. In Ulaanbaatar, 'Tom ger' often refers to apartments in the 'Zaisan' area, which is the wealthy district known for large square footage. When you enter a 'Tom ger', the etiquette is to walk to the left (the guest side) and wait to be invited to sit. The size of the home dictates how many people can be hosted during 'Tsagaan Sar' (Lunar New Year). The 'Ikh Khuree' (Great Camp) was the mobile capital of Mongolia, consisting of thousands of gers, with the 'Tom ger' of the Bogd Khan at its center.
Complimenting
Always compliment a Mongolian host's home. Saying 'Танайх ямар том юм бэ!' is a great icebreaker.
Don't say 'Big Tent'
Even if it's a literal tent, call it 'гэр'. Calling it 'майхан' (tent) is for camping, not living.

Real Estate
When looking at ads, 'Том' is often used to describe the living room (Том өрөө).
The Hearth
A 'big home' is only as good as the 'warmth' (дулаан) inside it. Mongolians value a warm home over a big one in winter.
