Noun[edit]

gana m

  1. genitive singular form of gans

Lithuanian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Cognate with Latvian gana (“enough, rather, fairly”), Old Church Slavonic гонѣти (goněti, “to suffice”).

Derksen considers possible a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰen-, similar to giñti (“drive, chase”). Possible relatives include Sanskrit घन (ghaná, “dense, thick”), Sanskrit आहनस् (āhanás, “thriving, full”), Old Armenian յոգն (yogn, “plenty”).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Needs to be sorted out. The claimed root means strike (unless there are two homophone roots), the words under consideration mean enough/numerous, and ginti means to chase, but what is the precise etymological and semantic relationship?”

Adverb[edit]

ganà

  1. enough, sufficiently
    Synonyms: pakanka, užtenka, pakankamai, užtektinai
    Aš turiu gana pinigų. ― I have enough money.
    Gana jau, gana! ― Enough already, enough!
  2. rather, fairly
    Synonyms: gerokai, pakankamai
