Etymology 1
From Latin m?um (“umbelliferous plant, Meum athamanticum”), from Ancient Greek ???? (mêon), probably from ????? (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
From Old Catalan meu, from Latin meus, 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 meus, meum, but as an unstressed monosyllabic form.
Pronunciation
- (Balearic, Central, Valencian) IPA(key): /?mew/
Pronoun
meu (feminine meva or meua, masculine plural meus, feminine plural meves or meues)
- my, mine
Usage notes
- When preceding a noun, meu is always preceded by the appropriate definite article.
- Also used after some prepositions:
