This makes it so clear, thank you. When I saw "masculine" and "feminine" I had flash backs of learning German and I sucked at at gendering, but I am glad this is not how it works here, just it determines how the vowel harmony works without gendering any objects.
Баярлалаа, thanks! Now I understand it in theory (because it is same as in Finnish). However, the front and back vowels in Mongolian are much nearer to each other than in Finnish, so I have to concentrate to distinguish У and Ү and О and Ө from each other. Could you make yet another video where you listed and pronounced several minimal pairs of words differing only in their vowels, other using "masculine" and other "feminine" variant of the same vowels, and with all the consonants same?
I have the same request! I'm an American who learned Turkish so the general idea is easy for me but I am also struggling to hear the difference well between У and Ү especially. I think almost all the vowels do exist in English as well but hearing them in Mongolian minimal pairs might be helpful! Thanks for your videos, really great intros to Mongolian. I love the sound of it and was kind of intimidated by the sound but now I see it's manageable. The Mongolian /l/ seems like the Welsh devoiced "ll." Something I notice, it seems that there are a few cases where letters change sound depending on environment, like Г seems to change whether it's followed by a consonant, or if it ends a word. This is very common in languages but if you ever did a video about the rules for Mongolian, that would be great! I watched the alphabet video and I'm somewhat familiar with Cyrillic but after watching several videos here, it seems there are some changes depending on location, perhaps you could explain best? Thanks again

Боже мой, вы в одном коротком ролике поставили все на место в моей голове. Вы лучшие в изучении монгольского языка!
I'm glad hungarian is hevily agglutiative aswell, and we use vowel harmony too :D It's a little bit easier for me :D
This is very helpful. Thank you😊 баярлалаа.
Thank you very much. So clear and explained well. :)

Thank you!
We have the same in Turkish ☺️
Баярлалаа. чухал хичээл. ( I think that is correct!...not sure....)
correct
Interesting, I think Hungarian is similar in that respect.
Is there any doubt that this should be the only spoken language, and the rest should be calligraphy?
Should called it bold/slim vowels.
