Definitions and meaning of meu

meu

Etymology 1

From Latin mēum (“umbelliferous plant, Meum athamanticum”), from Ancient Greek μῆον (mêon), probably from μεῖον (meîon, “lesser”) for its small size. The English form came perhaps via Middle French meu, a word with a single isolated attestation from the 14th century which only began to appear consistently from 1568, by which time the word was established in English.

Catalan

Etymology 1

Inherited from Old Catalan meu, from Latin meum, from Proto-Italic *meos. The feminine form was mia in Old Catalan, but this was extended to meva or meua by analogy with the masculine form. This happened because the -u was not understood as a masculine ending anymore, having been lost in nouns (unlike Spanish, Portuguese and Italian -o).

The weak possessive mon is also from Latin meum, but as an unstressed monosyllabic form.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): (Central, Balearic, Valencian) [ˈmew]

Pronoun

meu (feminine meva or meua, masculine plural meus, feminine plural meves or meues)

  1. my, mine
Usage notes
  • When preceding a noun, meu is always preceded by the appropriate definite article.

  • Also used after some prepositions:
    dins meu ― inside me
