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.
