| Malvizzun tal-Qtajja' | fieldfare | |
| mammiferu | mammal (Any animal of the Mammalia, a large class of warm-blooded vertebrates having mammary glands in the female, a thoracic diaphragm, and a four-chambered heart. The class includes the whales, carnivores, rodents, bats, primates, etc.) | |
| mammiferu akkwatiku | aquatic mammal | |
| mammiferu tal-art | land mammal | |
| mammiferu tal-baħar | marine mammal (Mammals which have adapted to live in the sea, such as whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.) | |
| mandat | mandate (A command or authorization to act in a particular way given by an administrator to a subordinate, a court to a lower court or an electorate to its representative) | |
| mangrovja | mangrove (Plant communities and trees that inhabit tidal swamps, muddy silt, and sand banks at the mouths of rivers and other low-lying areas which are regularly inundated by the sea, but which are protected from strong waves and currents. Mangroves are the only woody species that will grow where the land is periodically flooded with sea water; individual species have adapted themselves to different tidal levels, to various degrees of salinity, and to the nature of the mud or soil. Mangrove swamps and thickets support hundreds of terrestrial, marine, and amphibian species; have a special role in supporting estuarine fisheries; provide shelter, refuge and food for many forms of wildlife) | |
| manifattura tas-siment | cement manufacture (Cement is produced by heating a mixture of clay or shale plus chalk or lime in a rotary kiln up to 250 m long per 8 m diameter rotating at 1 rpm. The process can be wet, semi-dry or dry and the fuel can be pulverized coal, oil or gas. As the coal ash is similar in composition to the clay or shale, it can stay in the cement clinker. As one of the kiln operator's major costs is fuel and even a modest sized kiln can consume 8-10 tons of coal per hour, the cement kiln could, therefore, solve a disposal problem and also benefit the cement manufacturer by reducing fuel costs) | |

| manipulazzjoni riproduttiva | reproductive manipulation (The technology involved in altering in some prescribed way the genetic constitution of an organism. Typically "useful" genes, i.e. very short sequence of DNA, are isolated from one organism and inserted into the DNA of a bacterium of yeast. These microorganisms multiply rapidly and can be cultured easily, enabling large quantities of the gene product to be obtained. Reproductive manipulation has been used for the large-scale production of antibiotics, enzymes, and hormones (e.g. insulin). Organisms into which foreign DNA has been artificially inserted are called "transgenic organisms") | |
| manjetiżmu | magnetism (A class of physical phenomena associated with moving electricity, including the mutual mechanical forces among magnets and electric currents) | |
| manodopera | manpower (1. The power generated by a man working. 2. The number of people available for work, service, etc.) | |
