I am a Mongolian. My family moved from Mongolia to Beijing in the early 20th century and moved again to Taiwan in 1949. I am pretty much localized without speaking any Mongolian and having lost all the other traditions, except that still eating much meat. My son, while studying in the undergradute, had gone back to Mongolia with a medic volunteer group around 15 years ago, he loves it there, in his wedding, he and his wife dressed the traditional Mongolian robes.

And now the thought of eating meat just revolts me.

[@dregga7638]

@@frightfactoryYT Well it depends on how much meat you eat a week. (Yes i'm rapping) According to some health institutions if you eat more than 500-1kg a week it's more unhealthy than healty. It also depends on what kind of meat you eat (what animal, wich part and how the nutrition of the animal was). My opinion: the best nutrition generally from a health perspective is mainly fresh vegetables with a little bit less meat. Not many fruits, bread, noodles, sweets and other stuff your body will turn into sugar without getting a lot of vitamines. And the best way would be to eat it in only one or max two meals day as there is science that suggests eating less meals = aging slower.

Great interviews. I wonder about the age of the people interviewed in regards to some of the questions such as riding horses. About 35 years ago I spent a few days in Kökeqota/Hohhot, a major industrial city (population about 2 million at the time) in Inner Mongolia (an area controlled by the People's Republic of China with many Mongolians). I was walking with some other young Americans in a park and we came across some young Mongolian men playing guitar. Everyone in this story would be in their mid 50s now, or older. This is how the conversation went in a mixture of Chinese and English (plus a few hand gestures). Mongolian A: Hey, are you Americans? American A: Yes we are. Mongolian A: Great! American B: Thank you. Mongolian B: Play us some music with the guitar. Mongolians A and C and D: Yes! Please! American B (after looking at his countrymen): We'd like to, but don't know how. Mongolian A: Come on, Americans! You know how. American A: Really, we don't. Mongolian A: America, Land of Rock and Roll! Come on, you can do it. American C: Really, none of us can play the guitar. Mongolian A: Come on, Rock and Roll. Elvis Presley! Country music! American A: Look, just like not every Mongolian can ride a horse and shoot a bow, not every American can play the guitar. Mongolian A (looking very confused): I can ride a horse and shoot a bow. Mongolian B: Me too. Mongolians C and D: We can too. We all can ride horses and shoot bows. I think they were serious. We sung a song but without the guitar.

@@john-tomlinson nice story, been to Hohot many times, it is the modern Mongolian trade route to buy goods and sell back at the Narantuul market in Ulaanbaatar. To prove your point, my Momgol wife cannot ride a horse, but I can get by. Going through Hothot from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing only cost $4 usd back in the day, but it took 3 days to get there. Train - car accross the border- then bus or train to Beijing. Mongols are great people to travel with, they seem to be like me, most happy when on the move. Most of the Mongols in the video were too young to have the immediate connections with the countryside. For one, most young Mongols use to go to the countryside to visit grandparents during summer, now the grandparents live in town. Also climate change is forcing the nomads to sell their herds and move to the city. When they arrive as illegals they have no civic rights, no free education and no work. Sad situation. Most of the Mongols in the video were well educated, very difficult for countryside people to get their children educated in the city. NGOs take on the work of educating countryside children.

nice content bro goodluck

[@burre01]

Crops doesnt grow too well in some areas of the world, northern Russia, northern Sweden, Finland, Alaska etc, the only thing that grows is grass and trees, the crops season is too short... so we got used to alot of meat in our diet.

[@realmongolia101]

Because it's wasn't finished at the time lol

[@theweirdpolar]

It’s not finished, kids wouldn’t be able to climb up there..

[@hithummah]

I think japanese do have the same perception about mongolians and good eyesight as well. in this manga Kengan Omega there were a mongolian fighter with bird eye vision, and I don't mean as good as falcon's but rather literally have bird views mode similar to what in modern cars.

[@doomsday7308]

Ive never heard the language before and i didnt expect this at all

[@nomadicsoul34]

What ive learned watching this. Mongolians are smart and educated and the girls are beautiful.

[@user-ol7bt4wp1j]

The language has those "KHCH" sounds and kinda similar mid speech stops that Arabic has but also has a kinda Very Turkish sound which is understandable due to the history turks and Mongols but also a little korean/Japanese mix pronouncing of things. Idk its just very interesting sounding as a language.

[@kts437]

I am a native Mongolian speaker here. No, Mongolian and Turkish are NOT related at all. As a native Mongolian speaker, I cannot understand single word in Turkish. Also Turkish sounds to me a completely different and foreign language. Mongolian is a Mongolic language group where all the Mongolic dialects spoken by Buryats in Russian Far East and Inner Mongolian various proto-Mongol subgroups speak.

[@user-ol7bt4wp1j]

@@kts437 I know I just said that to me a turk it kinda sounds like a car engine trying to speak Turkish (no insult.) We borrowed a lot of words from your language i think

[@dwolfe2907]

I find it funny how much Mongolians hate being told they sound and look Korean- because they really do. I suspect they have a huge chip on their shoulder because they used to keep Korea as a tributary state, which was fortunate for the Koreans because the Khan spared them, thank God. But now things are different, Korea pretty much dominates the East side with Japan and China, and its never good to see your once lesser rise above you. It feels bad. But they should see Asian success, as Asian success, we all rise together. My grandmother was a Mongol who married a Korean man , so I'm always interested in Mongol. But whether they'd accept me is another thing, probably not , but its all good. Still love Mongolia either way. Also, I think Korean sounds like Mongol, not really in a phonetic sense, but in ... hrm... how do I say this, inflection? Tone? Attitude? Like how Japanese tend to say, Oii! Or how the Irish have the unique sing songy kind of sound. Mongols and Koreans share that kind of sound. If it was an instrument, they'd both be a string type instrument, but thats where the similarity ends- grammar and all that is all backwards I've heard lol.

[@orxihui]

No one thinks that way my dude

[@allwrightadventures6675]

The language sounds out of this world like the sounds they make I don't think even if tried I could make those sounds.

[@Talk2WandaVision]

Most people around the world aren’t so narrow minded to think EVERY person in ANY culture has the same characteristics and does the same things. That misconception is really overstated here. People may have some ideas about a culture or people they aren’t familiar with but the true stereotype here is saying that ALL foreigners think a certain way.

[@chinggiskhuree5748]

That was very insightful! Yet they didn't tell me anything that I don't already know. The odd thing is that I don't know how I know it but, then again, I am a Mongol. 💝 P.S. One good thing about being part white is you can hold your liquor LOL.

This is a really fascinating channel. KZbin is amazing. Koreans love meat, too. And I thought Korean women were already too strong and hot tempered LOL.
