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.

I would not set foot in Mongolia. I am so glad that Americans are not allowed to go to Mongolia anymore. Mongolia kills innocent people without good reason, especially if that person is a Muslim or Christian.
I've seen a Mongol military force in Afghanistan providing security details for a compound. There was yurts inside the compound. I wish I was at that location longer to befriend some of the Mongolian service members... It was pretty cool.

The first time I hear the Language clearly and it is really beautiful. Softly spoken and not like Chinese which I would have imagined it to sound like.
It doesn't sound like indian or russian at all chinese too. Sounds similar to Korean and Kypchak Turkic languages and a little bit Japanese. Which is normal because of the relation. But Indian and Russian are more similar to Europan languages and even to Persian.
That might be true mixture of sounds. One thing not mentioned here is the mongolians speak (learn) in foreign languages like the locals, almost no accent. Becuase Mongolian language consists all over sounds (vowels and consonants) in the other languages.
I have a Mongolian friend who is a very talented and beautiful young lady who posts many interesting sites of her country and her workouts. Every day that she posts a new scene it makes me smile.
0:00 Intro 0:22 What kinds of stereotypes do you think foreign people have about Mongolia? 3:29 True or false? Mongolians eat meat all the time. 6:36 True or false? Every Mongolian can ride a horse. 9:19 True or false? Mongolian women are beautiful and strong. 11:34 True or false? Mongolians are fierce and aggressive people. 13:58 Outro
The fact that those girls characterize meat eating as "unhealthy" is just awful. Damn, they've (along with many Turkic and Uralic tribes" eaten mostly meat for millennia and have adapted well to that diet. Changing it collectively won't bring them any good.
The people who say that they are eating meat look healthy, and are not fat. They are doing something right. /Мах идэж байна гэж ярьдаг хүмүүс эрүүл харагддаг, тарган биш. Тэд ямар нэгэн зөв зүйл хийж байна.
@@Мөнх-ИвээлМ It's bad for the environment if it's from big meat factories. If it's from your cattle, it isn't. Also, Not everyone has the same needs as I said. E.g. if you took an Inuit, an Aleut, etc. who has been living traditionally on fish, seals, etc. and forced them to become a vegan, they'd probably die. Red meat is good in small amounts, especially since nobody eats red meat a lot or every day
I only know Mongols from their soldiers in Afghanistan. They were very well trained, a real modern military, and there were thousands of them in Afghanistan. I was very impressed, as many countries would send some token force that would just stand around randomly, just for the photo ops, but Mongolia sent thousands of real fighters with modern training and equipment, despite being a much less wealthy and less populous nation.
I love the way the Mongolian language sounds. I know they're nowhere close to related, but it reminds me of Welsh. And YES, they're a very goodlooking people, men and women both.
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.
I wonder why these people compared themselves so much to Koreans when answering. No mention of neighboring China, Siberia, or Kazakhstan, but almost every question included a comparison to South Korea. Maybe it's because these people are young and well educated and there are many exchange students from Mongolia to South Korea, so that's what they think about for other countries.
@@비열한거리-i1o Nope, most Mongols and Koreans don't look alike, genetically don't align with one another as well as Koreans mostly belong to Y DNA O, same as most of Chinese, but Mongolians mostly belong to Y DNA C which is not very common among the EastAsian farmer population. To me, Koreans mostly look like Chinese, but not Cantonese( Lingnan regional type of Chinese).
As someone who spent a long time in the countryside with my mentor (I was training in Bokh and had planned to join the Naadam that year), the countryside and urban populations are very accurate in the description here. That being said as someone who is Korean, I've met plenty of Korean girls who can give me a run for my money, my girlfriend being one of them! Much love from Korea :D
@@Tetsuza_3 that's because you're Korean lol I'm just a foreigner who doesn't know any better. Maybe it's because I've been more exposed to Korean as opposed to Mongolian. If I was exposed more to Mongolian before I would have guessed that Koreans are speaking some sort of a Mongolian dialect lol Anyway both sounds cool to my ears! and turkic languages too!
@@farisfuad1150 you should visit both! Mongolia is a country as beautiful as it can be liberating. That being said I mostly spent my time with a nomadic family, not much experience in the city. Also be prepared for a lot of tsuivan lol, lots and lots of tsuivan.
There's one thing Mongolia isn't short of, and that's beautiful women! As for the language it has the essence of Korean with a bit of a Welsh twang to it! But here on this video at least it looks a very urbanised society (at least in Ulaan Baatar! ) Quite a contrast to the stereo types many foreigners associate with Mongolians and Mongolia.
people say this about every freaking country. we get it, women are hot. although tbh i do find mongolians especially attractive and i don’t really know why.
I'm from Poland and in this country in the 80s (also in the early 90s) it was popular to call "Mongol" a person with Down's Syndrome... perhaps the worst stereotype among all existing ones, I read an article about that (John Langdon is responsible) so I suppose it's the most harmful Mongolian stereotype known in the entire Western World
Idk , maybe bcoz western used to tell story about Mongolians eating human meat and blood dirsty monsters . That's how they imagined us when they hear about Mongolian nomadic war country
yeah that's true in Belgium they still do that and sadly bully kids when they say they're mongolians they make fun of them and I hope that mindset changes one day
And also in the Philippines it's true. That's the Filipino term also for someone who has Down's Syndrome or someone who acts in an abnormal, weird, and with childish manner (could be a combination of both)
@@mellosleeplessdreamer9911 trauma still exists from lose of war in 13th century kk?? Polish lithuania Hungary combined army with crusaders lost agains mongolia.
@Jiraiya Sennin if every Filipino who understand Tagalog hears that, they understand that. It's such an offensive term to people. It's not good. That is not a joke and it lead to such a verbal abuse.
Mongolia is such a cool country. :) They are an awesome people. Even so the stereotypes go I think most could not think of anything more romantic than going out into grasslands with nothing but a tent and a horse. Heck for some that's the American dream. (I also love meat) I could think of worse things.
I came here to learn my stereotypes. Can confirm - I keep meat and cheese available at all times because I feel sick if I don't keep my protein intake high.
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.
I live about 800 kilos from the Mongolian border, and would love to visit it one day. Both Ulanbaatar, and the Western part with the horseriding festivals and such.
The most important thing about Mongolia is that it is never in the news. And this is important. Because to get into the news something bad has to happen - be it a natural or man-made disaster or some other screw up (that's the tendency, unfortunately). So, my stereotype is that Mongolia is doing great.
There is another stereotype that is not for Mongolians but some Europeans. If you're Turkish, Hungarian or Finnish, some people are gonna call you "Mongolian" thinking they are insulting you
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.
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.
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.
@@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
This is a really fascinating channel. RUclips is amazing. Koreans love meat, too. And I thought Korean women were already too strong and hot tempered LOL.
What is this weird sound they do on every word? Is like they want to spit, throw up and at the same time try to speak russian and whistle.. please help!!
In my place(I am living near inner mongolia province of China), the eyesight of mongols living in city are terrible as fxk, only those live in Steppe have good eyesight.
It's funny how they sound defensive talking about eating balanced diet, and then I just thought about how much meat I eat normally. Besides breakfast it's hard to imagine not eating meat, though eggs are nice too.
To be fair, once you hit your 50-60g of protein a day, you don't really hunger for much else. Meat is one of the easiest ways to get there for most people.
@Richard Schiffman Thats so wrong its was because of the Chinese that the koreans learned a lot of things. korean culture mainly came from the Chinese.
girl @11:24 says korean girls are not good looking. not true. they are so pretty compared to other asians. but i think mongols are probably pretty too. i just haven't seen enough to make a determination.
You are our teacher! Thank you for your hard work! We love you! We look forward to your next works! Your channel is great! We have learned a lot from you! thank you for your sharing! Good luck every day!
The language itself sounds more like Arabic with Sino-Tibetan plosifs and central Asiatic rhythm. Russia was conquored by their leaders so the language developed along Central Asia more than East Asia explains why they sound so different from others surrounding.
Excuse me, could you please stop comparing Mongolian language with Arabic!!!! I am a native Mongolian speaker. Arabic is completely unrelated and foreign language to me!!!! Your unintelligent comment is extremely dangerous to our distinct indigenous identity. Please keep your love for Arabs or Arabic language to yourself!!! Arabs and Turks are always territorially expansionist and aggressive. They don't have the morality to respect the indigenous people's self-determination. I think it is because of their religion of Islam!!!
It's not surprising that a lot of people are unaware that Mongolia is a modern country. It's not very big but still developing. I did notice that they have some cultural similarities with Native Americans in a way of traditional dress, totems and jewelry. It did surprise me they said they use motorcycles in herd cattle and such. Here in the U.S. horses are still used in herding cattle as they are still seen as useful plus, they're environmentally more efficient. And Mongolia does have some cute girls!!!
You should also ask the countryside Mongolian the same questions. It would be interesting to hear their answers.

The first time I hear the Language clearly and it is really beautiful. Softly spoken and not like Chinese which I would have imagined it to sound like.
Mongolian is an Altaic language and is connected with Turkic languages, Korean and Japanese
Even the various Chinese languages sounded different. Cantonese spoken in Southern China and Hong Kong is different from Mandarin from North.
Mongolian and han chinese languages aren't even in the same language family lol
Let's gooooooo Mongolia!
20 years ago a mongolian girl broke my heart.
hahahaha this is great honor
Their language is really spectacular. I can hear russian,korean,chinese,indian mixed together wow
It doesn't sound like indian or russian at all chinese too. Sounds similar to Korean and Kypchak Turkic languages and a little bit Japanese. Which is normal because of the relation. But Indian and Russian are more similar to Europan languages and even to Persian.
@@mhkuntug i also think it sounds similiar to Eastern Asian Turkic Languages and Korean
@Ron hindi
@@mhkuntug it sounds similar to Russian because of the palatalized consonants
That might be true mixture of sounds. One thing not mentioned here is the mongolians speak (learn) in foreign languages like the locals, almost no accent. Becuase Mongolian language consists all over sounds (vowels and consonants) in the other languages.
I have a Mongolian friend who is a very talented and beautiful young lady who posts many interesting sites of her country and her workouts. Every day that she posts a new scene it makes me smile.
0:00 Intro
0:22 What kinds of stereotypes do you think foreign people have about Mongolia?
3:29 True or false? Mongolians eat meat all the time.
6:36 True or false? Every Mongolian can ride a horse.
9:19 True or false? Mongolian women are beautiful and strong.
11:34 True or false? Mongolians are fierce and aggressive people.
13:58 Outro
Beef and Lamp mostly. I enjoyed Mongolian dishes and tried almost everything I could lay my hands on.
Be careful when you chew lamp though! ;)
Do you eat the metal part of the lamp too or just the glass.🤣
I don't like lamb. Where are you from? Your name sounds very Bantu.
I love Mongolia. Beautiful country, beautiful people!
Where a u from?
@@runningoutofname5553 Korea
Mongolians are one of the most friendly and hospitable people I have ever come across. Period. Love that country to death.
The fact that those girls characterize meat eating as "unhealthy" is just awful. Damn, they've (along with many Turkic and Uralic tribes" eaten mostly meat for millennia and have adapted well to that diet. Changing it collectively won't bring them any good.
The people who say that they are eating meat look healthy, and are not fat. They are doing something right. /Мах идэж байна гэж ярьдаг хүмүүс эрүүл харагддаг, тарган биш. Тэд ямар нэгэн зөв зүйл хийж байна.
Red meat is unhealthy though. There are many studies backing that up.
@@Мөнх-ИвээлМ Every food is unhealthy if you eat a lot of it. Red meat is healthy in smaller amounts
@@wtc5198 But it's still much less healthier than fruits, vegetables, and fish. Also, it's bad for the environment.
@@Мөнх-ИвээлМ It's bad for the environment if it's from big meat factories. If it's from your cattle, it isn't. Also, Not everyone has the same needs as I said. E.g. if you took an Inuit, an Aleut, etc. who has been living traditionally on fish, seals, etc. and forced them to become a vegan, they'd probably die. Red meat is good in small amounts, especially since nobody eats red meat a lot or every day
The tones in Mongolian sound very similar to Korean; interesting.
I thought the same thing. Some people think they're related
They're both part of the Altaic language family
North Korean to be exact
Mongolian doesn't have tones.
@@Joy-wd9ez that language family was disproved
I only know Mongols from their soldiers in Afghanistan. They were very well trained, a real modern military, and there were thousands of them in Afghanistan.
I was very impressed, as many countries would send some token force that would just stand around randomly, just for the photo ops, but Mongolia sent thousands of real fighters with modern training and equipment, despite being a much less wealthy and less populous nation.
Gerçek operasyona çıktılar mi
I love the way the Mongolian language sounds. I know they're nowhere close to related, but it reminds me of Welsh.
And YES, they're a very goodlooking people, men and women both.
I want to visit Mongolia so badly!!! Greetings from 🇨🇱.
Very interesting culture and place. I would love to visit but would need a reliable tour guide.
I'm thinking about working as a Freelance guide this summer. Please contact me if you need help.
20yrs ago most city Mongols still had connection with the countryside. The Mongols you asked are city born dwellers.
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.
I wonder why these people compared themselves so much to Koreans when answering. No mention of neighboring China, Siberia, or Kazakhstan, but almost every question included a comparison to South Korea. Maybe it's because these people are young and well educated and there are many exchange students from Mongolia to South Korea, so that's what they think about for other countries.
Also because ethnic Mongols and Koreans are more closely related historically.
Well because those 2 girls who compared with Koreans said they used to study in Korea. That's why it's the closest thing that they can compare to.
she studied in South Korea, and Korean shows have also been quite popular in Mongolia in recent years
Mongol, korea , northeast china, south east Russia are same ethnic group race.
China,russia are invade our bro. Mongol and Korea only survive.
@@비열한거리-i1o Nope, most Mongols and Koreans don't look alike, genetically don't align with one another as well as Koreans mostly belong to Y DNA O, same as most of Chinese, but Mongolians mostly belong to Y DNA C which is not very common among the EastAsian farmer population. To me, Koreans mostly look like Chinese, but not Cantonese( Lingnan regional type of Chinese).
As someone who spent a long time in the countryside with my mentor (I was training in Bokh and had planned to join the Naadam that year), the countryside and urban populations are very accurate in the description here. That being said as someone who is Korean, I've met plenty of Korean girls who can give me a run for my money, my girlfriend being one of them!
Much love from Korea :D
if I didn't know better, If I would think they that were speaking a dialect of Korean.
@@farisfuad1150 They're very different to me, chalk and cheese, but I also speak both languages fluently so it may be a different situation.
@@Tetsuza_3 that's because you're Korean lol I'm just a foreigner who doesn't know any better. Maybe it's because I've been more exposed to Korean as opposed to Mongolian. If I was exposed more to Mongolian before I would have guessed that Koreans are speaking some sort of a Mongolian dialect lol Anyway both sounds cool to my ears! and turkic languages too!
@@farisfuad1150 you should visit both! Mongolia is a country as beautiful as it can be liberating. That being said I mostly spent my time with a nomadic family, not much experience in the city.
Also be prepared for a lot of tsuivan lol, lots and lots of tsuivan.
@@chonulgwiin5051 ... I was... I was born in Korea genius. I'm literally a Naju native.
It'd be interesting to take these same questions to the countryside and ask some of them
They kill you probably
Mongolian sounds as if Hungarian and Turkish had a son and he spoke with a Korean accent
I have nothing but respect for Mongolians
There's one thing Mongolia isn't short of, and that's beautiful women! As for the language it has the essence of Korean with a bit of a Welsh twang to it! But here on this video at least it looks a very urbanised society (at least in Ulaan Baatar! ) Quite a contrast to the stereo types many foreigners associate with Mongolians and Mongolia.
people say this about every freaking country. we get it, women are hot. although tbh i do find mongolians especially attractive and i don’t really know why.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's a matter of personal preference.
I want to go Mongolia but will they eat me if they're hungry? I'm scared about that 😭
@@Nick-dr4ec what? they have plenty of livestock, they wouldn't want to eat you lmao.
@@alis.b.4631 It's a joke 😶
Another great interview! Did you do a walking tour of the national park in your prior videos? It looks like that is your location for the interview.
Yes, I did. It's in my "From Zaisan to National Park" video. Thanks for watching.
I'm from Poland and in this country in the 80s (also in the early 90s) it was popular to call "Mongol" a person with Down's Syndrome... perhaps the worst stereotype among all existing ones, I read an article about that (John Langdon is responsible) so I suppose it's the most harmful Mongolian stereotype known in the entire Western World
Idk , maybe bcoz western used to tell story about Mongolians eating human meat and blood dirsty monsters . That's how they imagined us when they hear about Mongolian nomadic war country
yeah that's true in Belgium they still do that and sadly bully kids when they say they're mongolians they make fun of them and I hope that mindset changes one day
And also in the Philippines it's true. That's the Filipino term also for someone who has Down's Syndrome or someone who acts in an abnormal, weird, and with childish manner (could be a combination of both)
@@mellosleeplessdreamer9911 trauma still exists from lose of war in 13th century kk?? Polish lithuania Hungary combined army with crusaders lost agains mongolia.
@Jiraiya Sennin if every Filipino who understand Tagalog hears that, they understand that. It's such an offensive term to people. It's not good. That is not a joke and it lead to such a verbal abuse.
10:44 that slide in the background looks like it would just drop kids down from 2 meters in the air
Because it's wasn't finished at the time lol
It’s not finished, kids wouldn’t be able to climb up there..
Thanks for giving us Mongolia. I really want to know more about your country.
Mongolia is such a cool country. :) They are an awesome people. Even so the stereotypes go I think most could not think of anything more romantic than going out into grasslands with nothing but a tent and a horse. Heck for some that's the American dream. (I also love meat) I could think of worse things.
I lovve Mongolia from France
Gastarbajter?
its weird hearing people from ulaanbatar talk after living in the countryside for two years. it feels like everyone speaks slowly
The picture of Mongolia in my head is ppl like Hakuho walking around everywhere
XD
I always see people love to eat meat everyday not just Mongolian.
Ofc but they MOSTLY eat meat, like meat is 90% of our diet. Ofc we eat other things and it may not apply to all.
@@AriunzayaLkh I would be very happy to eat the way you describe!
@@pdxtom honestly same but if I did like everyday, it will get kinda boring
I came here to learn my stereotypes. Can confirm - I keep meat and cheese available at all times because I feel sick if I don't keep my protein intake high.
I love how there’s that one kid driving that ride-on Jeep in the background
I'm in South Korea. There are beautiful Korean women but many aren't like on TV, too much plastic surgery.
Proof? Where you living in?
i remember visiting that playground as a kid in the backround at 1:28, I feel so much nostalgia from this video it hurts 😭😭
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.
I live about 800 kilos from the Mongolian border, and would love to visit it one day. Both Ulanbaatar, and the Western part with the horseriding festivals and such.
Where are you from?
The most important thing about Mongolia is that it is never in the news. And this is important. Because to get into the news something bad has to happen - be it a natural or man-made disaster or some other screw up (that's the tendency, unfortunately). So, my stereotype is that Mongolia is doing great.
I'm an Americanized Mongolian and I would say that speech is absolutely true
There is another stereotype that is not for Mongolians but some Europeans. If you're Turkish, Hungarian or Finnish, some people are gonna call you "Mongolian" thinking they are insulting you
They seem like nice gentle folk... hope they don't get spoiled by Globalism.
I'm having short of breath by listening this. Amazinggg
😂 I am sorry
Wearing sunglasses does not mean they have bad eyesight.
i think they meant eye-glasses.
I love their language sound so good
Thank God your videos have english subtitle. It's hard to find Mongolian channels that provides an english translation. Thank you! 🙏❤
yo bro my Mom is fron Mongolia. one day i will come to mongolia. im planning about it
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.
No one thinks that way my dude
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.
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.
@@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
What ive learned watching this. Mongolians are smart and educated and the girls are beautiful.
girl at 6:30 could pass for korean too. so many mongols and koreans look similar!
Naah different maybe same as Balkan and Western European .
Mongolia looks so pretty and peaceful
I really liked what Mongolian Tifa had to say
my stereotype of mongolia is a giant dress in green clothes on a mountain playing an instrument on top of a mountain and singing with his throat
that's not really far off
Such a nice language.
Its like asmr to listen.
Beautiful people
Do Mongolians still drink tea with butter and salt? That's what stuck to my mind from my readings when I took an Asian history class in college.

And we do ride horses allot but there’s only 400k people that can ride horses in the city I think

To be fair, once you hit your 50-60g of protein a day, you don't really hunger for much else. Meat is one of the easiest ways to get there for most people.
Hello, greetings from Finland
why are they referring to koreans?
@@San-nj6mp definitely answered my question, was not expecting a paragraph answer, thank you.
@Richard Schiffman Thats so wrong its was because of the Chinese that the koreans learned a lot of things. korean culture mainly came from the Chinese.

You are our teacher! Thank you for your hard work! We love you! We look forward to your next works! Your channel is great! We have learned a lot from you! thank you for your sharing! Good luck every day!
The language itself sounds more like Arabic with Sino-Tibetan plosifs and central Asiatic rhythm. Russia was conquored by their leaders so the language developed along Central Asia more than East Asia explains why they sound so different from others surrounding.
They speaking khalkh dialect theres many. We took some russian words but it cant change our dialect because our dialect harder than russian dialect.
Excuse me, could you please stop comparing Mongolian language with Arabic!!!! I am a native Mongolian speaker. Arabic is completely unrelated and foreign language to me!!!! Your unintelligent comment is extremely dangerous to our distinct indigenous identity. Please keep your love for Arabs or Arabic language to yourself!!! Arabs and Turks are always territorially expansionist and aggressive. They don't have the morality to respect the indigenous people's self-determination. I think it is because of their religion of Islam!!!

It's not surprising that a lot of people are unaware that Mongolia is a modern country. It's not very big but still developing. I did notice that they have some cultural similarities with Native Americans in a way of traditional dress, totems and jewelry. It did surprise me they said they use motorcycles in herd cattle and such. Here in the U.S. horses are still used in herding cattle as they are still seen as useful plus, they're environmentally more efficient. And Mongolia does have some cute girls!!!
Mongolian sounds like such a hard language woah
One of those languages with female and male things in every word xD
I have never known enough about Mongolia or its people to form any stereotypes about them.
