意思
Sending a text or note.
文化背景
Facebook Messenger is the dominant platform. When someone says 'Зурвас бичээрэй', they almost always mean 'Message me on Facebook'. It is common to send a 'зурвас' before calling a professional contact to ask if they are free to talk. Jumping straight into a call can be seen as slightly intrusive. The concept of 'зурвас' is linked to the 'Urtoo' (postal relay) system where short messages were vital for the empire's administration. Younger generations often shorten 'Зурвас бичих' to just 'Чатлах' or 'Мессежлэх'.
Use the Imperative
If you want to sound natural when leaving, just say 'Зурвас бичээрэй!' (Text me!). It's the most common parting phrase.
Don't say 'Зурвас ярих'
Even though we 'talk' on apps, in Mongolian, you always 'write' (бичих) a message.
