For things that are of particular importance to a culture, there are sometimes innumerable terms and designations in the associated language. The respective terms often designate very specific expressions and are quite suitable to describe an object or thing in detail. If such a term is now translated into another language, this can lead to a loss of information or further descriptions are required in order to guarantee a correct translation of the content. As the language of a traditional equestrian and nomadic culture, the Mongolian language has spawned many equestrian terms that have very granular meanings. The work deals with how these traditional terms, which are anchored in a culture, can be translated into the German language. The underlying explanations are also relevant with regard to the translation into another language.
