English term or phrase: Sain uu
We are working on a project where a character is visiting many different countries in the world. We're introducing the countries with a short line of copy starting with an official greeting of the country - i.e. for France, he'll say "Bonjour I'm in France..."

We are trying to find a generic greeting for Mongolia that is authentic but this seems to be quite open to debate. So we would like the greeting we've found confirmed accurate or if there is a better suggestions.

Mongolian translation:sain uu?
Explanation:
You can use "sain uu?", but please note that it's very informal. It's what two friends could say when they meet. The most generic greeting otherwise is "Sain baina uu?" or "Sain baitsgaana uu?" if addressing more than one person.
