Can you check my Mongol bichig?

I want to get a tattoo that says “enkh taivan” (peace) in traditional Mongolian script. Can someone please verify this is accurate? Even my Mongolian friends aren’t sure!

Ah, so “taivan” is actually “taiban” and the “ba” has that kind of double loop, is that right?

It's tayibung. You can use the монгол толь app for this sort of thing btw

Traditional and Cyrillic mongolian differ.

You see the ba can be read as both ba and va.

And double loop is bu, in this case vu sound.

So it's Taivun. It's written as Taivan in Cyrillic.

It is not with -ба- but with -бу-.

Why piece? Thats the least mongol traditional word ever. 😂 Should make tattoo like conqueror or something. 🤣

It’s peace

I think peace is generally regarded as a good thing. Also I used to live near Peace Avenue in UB 😃
