(transitive, figurative) to produce Synonyms: produzir, criar ==== Usage notes ==== This verb is usually used for animals. When used to refer to people, it has a somewhat offensive or derogatory connotation, comparable to that of saying knocked up instead of pregnant in English. The non-derogatory synonym used for people is dar à luz (literally “to give to light”). This verb is almost never used in its present conjugations. Many authorities consider it defective, while others recognize historical irregular conjugations such as pairo (compare caibo, from caber). Forms such as paro may also be encountered colloquially. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== See also ==== === References === === Further reading === “parir”, in Dicionário Aulete Digital (in Portuguese), Rio de Janeiro: Lexikon Editora Digital, 2008–2026 == Spanish == === Etymology === From Latin pariō. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /paˈɾiɾ/ [paˈɾiɾ] Rhymes: -iɾ Syllabification: pa‧rir === Verb === parir (first-person singular present paro, first-person singular preterite parí, past participle parido) (ambitransitive, vulgar in some areas) to give birth Synonym: dar a luz (transitive, colloquial) to think up; imagine (transitive) to explain ==== Usage notes ==== Parir is more commonly used in Spain, and is rarely used by Central- and South-Americans, as they believe parir is vulgar, in the sense that it is used to describe when animals give birth.
