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
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.
