Abstract: Given the best-fit results of six neutrino oscillation parameters, we plot the Dirac and Majorana unitarity triangles (UTs) of the 3 imes 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix to show their real shapes for the first time. The connections of the Majorana UTs with neutrino-antineutrino oscillations and neutrino decays are explored, and the possibilities of right or isosceles UTs are discussed. In the neutrino mass limit of m_1 o 0 or m_3 o 0, which is allowed by current experimental data, we show how the six triangles formed by the effective Majorana neutrino masses langle m angle_{alpha�eta} (for alpha, �eta = e, mu, au) and their corresponding component vectors look like in the complex plane. The relations of such triangles to the Majorana phases and to the lepton-number-violating decays H^{++} o alpha^+ �eta^+ in the type-II seesaw mechanism are also illustrated.
