Sain uu- Hi /entry on basic phrases in Mongolian Sain uu/ or Sain baina uu- Hi? I would like to ask for help from a native speaker of Mongolian on how to learn the basics. Монголоор ..... -г яаж хэлэх вэ ( Mongoloor ...g yazh heleh ve? ..is the verb, heleh?) This is supposed to mean 'how do you say it in Mongolian', right? I also ask for any basic rule on how to identify a verb in a sentence. Could you please tell me anything about basic sentence structure using a really simple example? Happy Birthday Tєрсєн єдрийн баяр хvргэе - Tersen edriyn bayar hurgee? Does 'hurgee ' mean happy? I would very much appreciate your help. " Нэг хэл хэзээ ч хангалтгүй " This sounds nice ,hopefully I got the right phrase that one language is never enough.

Sain uu- Hi /entry on basic phrases in Mongolian

Sain uu/ or Sain baina uu- Hi? YES, SAIN UU IS RATHER INFORMAL, THAT'S WHY IT HAS A SHORTER FORM.

I would like to ask for help from a native speaker of Mongolian on how to learn the basics.

Монголоор ..... -г яаж хэлэх вэ ( Mongoloor ...g yazh heleh ve? ..is the verb, heleh?)
This is supposed to mean 'how do you say it in Mongolian', right? THAT'S RIGHT. I also ask for any basic rule on how to identify a verb in a sentence.
Could you please tell me anything about basic sentence structure using a really simple example?
Happy Birthday Tєрсєн єдрийн баяр хvргэе - Tersen edriyn bayar hurgee? Does 'hurgee ' mean happy? BAYAR HURGEY MEANS CONGRATULATE,

ТӨРСӨН ӨДРИЙН MEANS 'BIRTHDAY'S'. LITERALLY THE SENTENCE MEANS 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'S CONGRATULATE'

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EASY EXAMPLE. БИ НОМ УНШИЖ БАЙНА. /I BOOK READING/TRANSLATION: I AM READING A BOOK. THE OBJECT COMES AS YOU SEE BEFORE THE VERB WHILE IN ENGLISH IT COMES AFTER THE VERB.

I would very much appreciate your help.

1) yes, heleh is the verb. 2) Mongoloor(Mongolian)....g(it) yazh(how to) heleh( say) ve? so meant how to say it in mongolian? there are no YOU. IF YOU WANT TO SAY 'how do you(chi/ ta) say it in Mongolian' YOU SHOULD SAY: chi/ta( YOU) ....g Mongoloor yazh heleh ve? OR Mongoloor chi/ta( YOU)....g yazh heleh ve? 3) Torsen odriyn bayar hurgii? :Torsen odriyn(day)=birthday. bayar= happy. hurgii=send/give/bring. example: cham d beleg(gift) hurgii(give)= give you a gift. chamaig ger(home)t chin hurgii(drive/send)=drive/send you home.
