"È di seconda mano."

Translation: It is second hand.

Thank you.

[tani17]

why not secondo mano?

[RobBlaney]

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

Maybe a little history lesson helps remembering:

I should have remembered "la ci darem la mano"

Excuse me, please can you explain what does your sentence mean?

[4kidsandacat]

Yes me too

[Shivaadh]

In Spanish, a lot of words that end in -a and are masculine have Arabic origins. Does anyone know if there's a pattern/ reason to Italian words ending in-o despite being feminine?

Wondering why this is in a lesson on medical terms?

[4kidsandacat]

I guess you can hear information second hand.

[Ispirac]

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

[ChrisC.2]

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

[Alex518387]

[AnthonyHawley]

In the UK used means second hand and should be marked correct!!

[Ruckelhaxan]

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