• Hyphenation: tra‧er

Verb

traer (first-person singular present traio, first-person singular preterite trouxen, past participle traído)

1. to bring
2. to wear
   • 1845, Vicente Turnes, Diálogo entre Silvestre Cajaraville e Domingo Magariños:

     Estóu debendo na tenda
     A chamarra que hoje trago
     E o somonte dos calzós
     Que ja estan feitos farrapos;

     I owe to the shop
     the coat I wear today
     and the cloth of the pants,
     which are already in tatters

3. (rare) to bear
   • 1812, Antonio Benito Fandiño, A Casamenteira:

     Ai tontiño, porque iñoras
     o qu’he mantér casa e vida,
     que por ben que estea sortida,
     hai faltas a todas horas.
     O segundo, que teu pai
     pensa com’home de ben,
     e así por vergonza ten
     unha nora que non trai.
     Orasme, sobr’esto hai,
     que a dous parizós que teña,
     non tendes donde vos veña,
     cando ela non colla un mal.

     Oh, silly, because you don't know
     what it is to keep house and life,
     no matter how well stocked it is,
     there's lack at all hours.
     Second, your father
     thinks like a good man,
     and to his shame he has
     a daughter-in-law who doesn't bear.
     However, on this matter,
     with just two childbirths that she has,
     you'll be left resourceless,
     and that if she doesn't get sick.
