Basque to traditional-script Mongolian: preserving the description before changing the writing
A clause before a noun can identify its participant
Basque descriptions do not all have the same internal structure. Laka contrasts a simple participial adjective after a noun with a fuller participial clause before it. Her hosto eroriak identifies fallen leaves, while lurrean eroritako hostoak specifies leaves fallen on the ground. The second expression includes the place within the description. For a Mongolian translation, preserve that additional relationship rather than treating every word before the main sentence verb as an independent event.
Her harrak jotako sagarra describes an apple affected by a worm. This is particularly useful when checking who does what inside a description: the apple is not the actor merely because it is the noun being identified. A Basque-to-Mongolian translation must retain the affected entity as the head of that phrase while expressing the internal actor appropriately. Similar overall clause-before-noun order in the two languages does not guarantee that participant roles have survived unchanged.
Mongolian modifying clauses also require a relationship to their head
The Tokyo University of Foreign Studies lesson explains Mongolian clauses placed before the noun they modify. It distinguishes cases where the head noun fills a role within the described event from cases where the clause instead supplies the content of the noun. This matters for Basque descriptions of an affected item: the target should preserve the item’s relationship to the action, rather than merely place an action phrase before the nearest noun.
The lesson’s миний иддэггүй мах means meat that I habitually do not eat. This Cyrillic example is a grammar lookup aid, not traditional-script output. It demonstrates a negative habit within a noun-modifying clause. If a Basque description says that someone does not normally eat a food, a target describing food not eaten on one occasion would identify a different category. Keep the modifier’s negative and temporal interpretation together with its participant relationship before preparing the requested written form.
Traditional Mongolian is not Cyrillic with different letter shapes
The Unicode specification explains that traditional Mongolian orthography and Cyrillic Mongolian orthography do not map onto each other one character at a time. Traditional spelling reflects an older literary system, whereas Cyrillic spelling follows modern colloquial pronunciation more closely. Consequently, a Cyrillic grammar example can help explain a construction without providing a character substitution recipe for the traditional-script translation. The Basque source must be translated into the requested target form rather than routed through a guessed alphabet swap.
Unicode also records that the traditional script runs vertically in columns progressing from left to right and that letters have contextual shapes. A Basque reader accustomed to separate Latin letters should therefore not judge a joined target word by expecting every underlying letter to retain one isolated appearance. Preserve the actual text when copying the translated description; manually spacing apparent pieces can interfere with its intended writing. The linguistic check and the writing-system check remain complementary: first confirm which entity the clause describes and what it says about that entity, then confirm that the result uses traditional Mongolian spelling and rendering.
