How it's used

Borrowed from the Mongolian word for an enclosure or camp, this term is rarely used in daily Hong Kong Cantonese. It is primarily encountered in historical, geographical, or literary contexts describing nomadic life in Inner Mongolia. Most native speakers would simply use 牧場 or 草地 to describe a pasture.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the term for the historical name of Ulaanbaatar, which is also transliterated as 庫倫 in some older Chinese texts. Using it in casual conversation will likely confuse listeners as it is not part of the standard vocabulary.
