mano a mano

Listen to pronunciation Share definition mano a mano; mano mano; man manoAs far as Italians are concerned these expressions (freely exchangeable) have only one use and meaning, the origin of which - most likely - has to do with the way in old times people used to measure short distances by using an open hand. You put a hand widely open beside another end moving on as you take measures. From this habit in old times may have arisen the idea of following an event - shal we say - "step-by-step" (if you're measuring long distances) ... or similarly "hand-by-hand" (if you're measuring, say, a cloth or a stick of wood, etc.). By extension, every time an Italian wants to mean following something very closely and at every new event uses this expression. I mark on the wall my child's height as (mano a mano) he grows. Segno sul muro l'altezza di mio figlio MANO A MANO che cresce. I mark on the wall my child's height (continuosly) AS he grows. by pino-il-siracusano November 3, 2018 Flag Get the mano a mano mug.
