Significado
Asking for a location.
Contexto cultural
Mongolians value directness in directions. They will often point with their whole hand, not just a finger, which is considered more polite. In the countryside, 'location' is often relative to landmarks like mountains or rivers. In Ulaanbaatar, people use street names and building numbers, but landmarks are still preferred. If you ask a local 'Хаана?', they may offer to take you there themselves.
Use your hands
Mongolians use gestures. Pointing with an open hand is polite.
Don't point with one finger
Pointing with a single finger can be seen as rude in some traditional contexts.
