Glad to help. And it sure does need it's own forum!

Like I said to you before, your Mongolian is pretty good for a beginner. Keep on going and I'll keep helping you.

Та маш сайн хийсан!
You did very well!
- When you put a question word in a sentence, it always has to be near the end of the sentence before the interrogative particle.
- бэ is a particle to make the question linked to what has happened in the past. вэ is for present and future.
- Хир эрээг is individually correct, but in the sentence you wrote, it does not make sense. The main translation for "how long" is Хир удаан.
Otherwise you did very well! All the four notes I gave you are very important, especially the last three because of the word order of Mongolian. Thanks for writing something in Mongolian, and I am glad I was able to help you.

Really? My notes don't say anything about the past vs. present and future. What I have written down is this: When using question words хэн or юу sentences must end with бэ or вэ. Words that en in в, л, м, or н are followed by "бэ?" and all others are followed by "вэ?"
I can't find anything in my notes about бэ being used only with the past вэ being used only with the present and future. Where did you read this? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just a little confused. I need to edit my notes if they're wrong.
However I did forget the вэ particle at the end of my sentence so thank you for catching and correcting that.

I don't know exactly what Cesare is talking about with the past tense or present/future tense, as that has nothing to do with these particles so far as I know.

bluejay390 wrote:In that sentence I wanted to say "How did you study Mongolian?" not "How long..." Would I still have to use "Хир удаан" there? I was trying to go for a meaning like "what is your study method?". But thanks for the note about Хир удаан too.

I should probably get back to this language though before I forget everything. I might be spamming this thread with random questions and sentences soon.
