== Basic Greetings ==


Let's start with some basic greetings in Halh Mongolian. These expressions are commonly used to greet someone for the first time or to say hello to someone you already know.
When someone says goodbye to you in Halh Mongolian, it is customary to respond with a farewell or a simple acknowledgment. Here are some common responses:


{| class="wikitable"
==== Bayartai (Баяртай) ====
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English
This is the most common response to the goodbye "Bayartai". It means "be happy" and is a simple way to acknowledge the farewell and reciprocate the well-wishes.
|-

Note that when you meet someone for the first time or someone who is older or in a higher position than you, it is usually better to use the formal expression "Сайн уу" (sain uu), which is the equivalent of "Hello" in English. When you greet someone you know well or someone younger than you, you can use the informal version "Сайн байна уу" (sain baina uu), which is more relaxed and casual.
==== Bayartai baina uu? (Баяртай байна уу?) ====
This is the appropriate response to the formal goodbye "Bayartai baina uu?". It means "I will be well" and is a polite way to reciprocate the well-wishes and express gratitude.

It is important to note that Halh Mongolians value modesty and humility, and being too effusive in expressing gratitude can be seen as insincere or boastful. So, keep your expressions simple and sincere, and you will be well-received.
==== Bayarlalaa (Баярлалаа) mash (маш) ====
This expression adds emphasis to the gratitude. The word "mash" means "very" or "a lot" and intensifies the meaning of "bayarlalaa". It is used to express deep appreciation and is equivalent to saying "thank you very much" in English.
