Four family members are playing a game using shagai (the ankle bones of sheep) as dice. Shagai have four faces: ямаа (goat), хонь (sheep), тэмээ (camel), and морь (horse). The game involves going round a U-shaped 'racecourse'.
The participants are:
1) Ээж in red on the right, the family matriarch;
2) Her son-in-law Мянганбуу;
3) Her daughter Одгэрэл (Мянганбуу's wife);
4) The couple's daughter Мишээл.
In this segment, Одгэрэл throws first, followed by Мянган.
Vocab:
- овоо: 'very'
- хийморьтой: 'lucky' (involves qualities as a person, not mere blind luck)
- хоёрт: 'in second place'
- гүйцэх: 'overtake'
- хүргэн:'son-in-law'
Things to look out for:
- One sentence contains a юм.
- One sentence ends with биз дээ.
