Why does the Romanian sentence use mâna (the hand) instead of a word for "her" hand?
In Romanian, it is very common to use the definite article (the "the" form) for body parts instead of possessive words like "her" or "my". Because she is the one doing the action, it is naturally understood that she is raising her own hand.
