mendje

Albanian

Alternative forms

• mend, mând, mênd, mên, mênie

Etymology

Tosk variant of Gheg mând, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *men- ("to think"). Compare Latin mens, mentem ("mind"), Old English mynd (“mind”), Old High German gimunt (“mind, memory”), Danish minde (“memory”). A Latin borrowing, although possible, does not explain the Gheg form.
