        "Mano" is one of those feminine nouns that ends with 'o' = La mano

                What is the meaning of that something like "my, your, somebodies second hand" or " from second hand" like second hand shop.

                  I've heard second hand to mean used: not new

                    Would seconda mano also apply for second hand/used things?
