i would like to make some correction on word "Dog" having a same meaning as a "husband ".The word "nohoi" which means dog has its roots from the word "nohor" which also has a meaning "friend " in Mongolia.So whoever translated the meaning of the word did a very poor job,indeed.GL

Hi Christina,
Thanks for writing about your experiences with a Mongolian language. I can not imagine how challenging it must have been for you. Not to mention big cultural gap.
As a Mongolian I can understand how close the words for husband and dog are, but you got it all right. Specially, with all gers' doors facing the south.
I just wanted to assure you that when Mongols laugh at miss-pronounced words, they are not making you down or scolding you in some ways, they just having a friendly fun.
As you may have noticed the closer our friendships are, the tougher the jokes can become and sometimes it reaches the limits.
