gebärt

Gebärt is a German word that translates to "gives birth" or "bears" in English. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "gebären." This verb is used to describe the process of a female animal or human giving birth to offspring. For example, one might say "Die Kuh gebärt ein Kalb" (The cow gives birth to a calf) or "Sie gebärt bald ein Kind" (She is giving birth to a child soon).

The word "gebären" is part of the strong verb conjugation class, meaning its past tense and past participle forms are irregular. The simple past tense is "gebär" (gave birth) and the past participle is "geboren" (born). Thus, "Die Kuh gebärte ein Kalb" means "The cow gave birth to a calf," and "Das Kind ist geboren" means "The child is born."

In a broader, more figurative sense, "gebären" can also be used metaphorically to describe something that brings forth or produces something else, often in a challenging or difficult way. For instance, a difficult situation might be said to "gebären" new opportunities, implying that these opportunities arise from hardship. However, the primary and most common usage of "gebärt" refers to the biological act of parturition.
