"Та нан байна уу" (do you have bread). The байна (have/exist) plus УУ (question). Works in any shop.
The place goes first.
Literally "bag needed or not". The хэрэгтэй (necessary) and УУ (question) structure. Bring your own; plastic bag culture is less prevalent than in the West.
Literally "I placed an order".
Literally "is morning tea included?", which means breakfast.
Нууц үг is literally "secret word".
Literally "is ... possible?".
