意思
A path that covers a great distance.
文化背景
When someone goes on an 'urt zam,' it is traditional to offer them a bowl of milk or tea. The traveler takes a sip, and the host sprinkles some to the sky for good luck. Distances in Mongolia are often measured in 'time' rather than kilometers because the 'urt zam' can be affected by weather and terrain. The 'Urtiin Duu' (Long Song) is a UNESCO-recognized heritage. The name itself mirrors the 'urt zam' of the steppe. In Ulaanbaatar, 'urt zam' is often used jokingly to describe the heavy traffic jams that make short distances take a long time.
Use with 'Туулах'
To sound more native, pair 'урт зам' with the verb 'туулах' (to cross/endure).
The White Road
Always wish someone a 'white road' (Цагаан мөртэй) if they say they are going on an 'urt zam'.
