man

An adult human male is what we call a man.

The word "man" can seem simple, but it's used in many different ways. We use it to talk about grown men, as opposed to boys or children. We also use it to refer to a husband or partner of a woman. For example, if someone says "John is my man," they mean that John is their boyfriend or husband. Additionally, we use the word "man" as a greeting or expression of respect, similar to "hello" or "good day." In some cases, like in sports, a team can be called the "men's team" if it only includes adult male players.
