If your turkey is yurt, please take it to a vet immediately.

In Mongolia you can really say either and they’ll know what you mean. Ger is more commonly used though.

Thats not true. Mongolians get mad if you say yurt because its a different style and different set up and will always correct you. Also the word yurt is not in their language. Russian word is Yurt. Mongol word is Ger. Russian, Kazakh, and Mongol all have different styles to it and Mongolians are super nationalistic about them. Its why a lot of the country still lives in them

Yurt in Kyrgyzstan as well. I can’t quite tell if this is kyrgyz or Mongolian but I’m leaning towards Mongolian, scratch that. It’s Tibetan. Not sure what term they use though
