Lithuanian

Etymology

Cognate with Latvian gana (“enough, rather, fairly”), Old Church Slavonic гонѣти (goněti, “to suffice”).

Derksen considers possible a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰen-, similar to giñti (“drive, chase”). Possible relatives include Sanskrit घन (ghaná, “dense, thick”), Sanskrit आहनस् (āhanás, “thriving, full”), Old Armenian յոգն (yogn, “plenty”).

Adverb

ganà

1. enough, sufficiently

   Synonyms: pakanka, užtenka, pakankamai, užtektinai

   Aš turiu gana pinigų. ― I have enough money.

   Gana jau, gana! ― Enough already, enough!

   Synonyms: gerokai, pakankamai
