mámáhatEnglishlikeness; form; picture; photoIn addition to being used to mean 'photo, picture', this term also refers to the form, likeness, or face of someone still alive which appears on a different being, like a spirit, thus the illusion that the person is in a different place than he really is.

mánánEnglishknow; understand; ableTok PisinsaveMánán means to have personal acquaintance with someone or something, while talas means to understand or comprehend or know about something. Mánán carries the idea of cleverness, knowledge, knowing how to do things, having a familiarity as in something one does habitually. The idea of 'habitually' is a meaning it shares with lu. Mánán also implies having the ability, power, or strength to do what is being said. In this way it is synonymous with las and tini. While the above words imply knowing by being taught or learning something, nuhi is to know intuitively, perceive, and realize. The word ásnai carries more the meaning of figuring out what to do by reasoning or thinking through something.A mánán i ani hun.He knows eating bananas, or he includes bananas as part of his diet.Káp iau te mánán i kis i balus.I do not know sitting on an airplane, or I've never been on an airplane.
