During our morning practice group this past Saturday, we talked about applying the man- prefix. There are several applications of the man- prefix, and there are slightly different ways to understand how and why it’s applied depending upon if it is applied to transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, nouns, or pronouns. It can get pretty confusing! I’ll be doing a mini-series about the man- prefix and how it is applied to different types of words. In this post I’ll be exploring the application of the man- prefix to transitive verbs and laying out my own systematic way of understanding this prefix.
