Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]laiar (first-person singular present laio, first-person singular preterite laiei, past participle laiado)
- to wail
- Synonym: lanxir

- to complain
- 1775, María Francisca Isla y Losada, Romance:
- Deixame estàr à meu cabo
layandome do meu mal,
que abo fèllas farto teño;
grasias aDeus, que mo dà!
Dòncheme tànto as sofràxes
ô Peito, è aínda màis,
que de dia, nin de nòite
eu nunca podo acougàr.- Let me be alone
complaining about my sickness,
which, by God, I have more than enough;
thanks God, who gives that to me!
My houghs hurt so bad,
and my chest, and even more,
that neither day nor night
can I settle down
- Let me be alone
