Lithuanian

Etymology

Appears to be a new formation built from mãn-, the oblique stem of àš + the masculine genitive ending -õ; compare jõ (“his”), tàvo (“your”), sàvo (“one's own”). Dialectal mãnas (“my”) matches Latvian mans (“my”), while Old Prussian mais (“my”) is an independent formation. Compare however Sudovian mano (“my”), which suggests the formation may be old.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈmɐ.nɔ/

Pronoun

màno (indeclinable)

1. (possessive) my, mine

   Tù esì màno geriáusias draũgas. ― You are my best friend.

   Tàs vaĩkas nè màno. ― That kid is not mine.

2. by me (used to indicate a first person singular agent in passive constructions)

   Taĩ bùvo pìrmas màno rašýtas laĩškas põpieriuje. ― That was the first letter written by me on paper.

Related terms

• manaip
• manas
• manasis m, manoji f
• maniškas
• maniškis m, maniškis f

 

Usage notes

If the subject of the sentence is first-person singular (i.e., àš), then the reflexive pronoun sàvo is used instead. For example:

Àš mýliu sàvo žmõną.

I love my wife.

• (file)

Etymology 1

From Old Spanish mano, from Latin manus, from Proto-Italic *manus, from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂-r̥ ~ *mh₂-én-.

Noun

mano f (plural manos)

1. (anatomy, of a person) hand
2. (of an animal) front foot
3. (in a game) round; hand
4. (of paint) coat, lick
5. (of a clock) hand
6. skill, talent
7. mano (a stone resembling a rolling pin, used to grind maize or other grain on a metate)

   Synonym: metlapil

8. (colloquial, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico) buddy, bro, man, mate, pal

Usage notes

• As with other nouns denoting body parts, the definite article la (“the”) is used where English would use a possessive determiner (e.g. my, your, his, or her), as long as the verb that it complements is pronominal and therefore implies possession. Examples: "Lávate las manos, por favor" and "Átale las manos"; contrast with "Dibuja tus manos".
