낳아요 · 낳았어요 · 낳을 거예요 · 낳으세요

Word parts
Native verb. It is the mirror of 태어나다: the mother 낳다 'gives birth', the baby 태어나다 'is born'.
Good to know
Pronounced [나타]: ㅎ and ㄷ merge into ㅌ; before a vowel the ㅎ is silent, so 낳아요 sounds like [나아요]. That makes it sound just like 나아요 from 낫다 'to get better'.
