Most of this phrasebook was compiled by [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] with the help of faint memories and a semi-helpful dictionary. Don't expect correct grammar, but most of the phrases should be understandable if you get the pronunciation right (good luck). [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] is giving away one Mongolian dictionary, by the way.

There is a translation for ''to hitchhike'', being '''zamyn unaand daygdakh'''. The accuracy of this translation is not proven, though (and especially if it includes the absence of payment, a notion notoriously hard to come by in Mongolia). A ''hitchhiker'' is '''zamyn unaand daygdagtsh'''.
