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)

(possessive) my, mine
Tù esìmàno geriáusias draũgas. ― You are my best friend.
Tàs vaĩkas nèmàno. ― That kid is not mine.
by me (used to indicate a first person singular agent in passive constructions)
Taĩ bùvo pìrmasmàno rašýtas laĩškas põpieriuje. ― That was the first letter written by me on paper.

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.

Sense 1

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ˈmano/ [ˈma.no]
Audio (file)
Rhymes: -ano
Syllabification: ma‧no

Etymology 1

From Old Spanish mano, from Latin manus, from Proto-Italic *manus, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂-r̥ ~ *mh₂-én-, derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₂- (“to beckon”), or perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *mon-u- (see the Proto-Italic entry). Cognate with Galician man and Portuguese mão. Compare French main.

Noun

mano f (plural manos)

(anatomy, of a person) hand
(of an animal) front foot
(in a game) round; hand
(of paint) coat, lick
(of a clock) hand
skill, talent
mano (a stone resembling a rolling pin, used to grind maize or other grain on a metate)
Synonym: metlapil
(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".
