Can you please put the word baineann in an English sentence(s) in order to explain for me the word when used in everyday speech. Please don't mutate the word. i.e. use exactly the word "baineann".

Thanks!

Potafocal.com is good for seeing words in context. You'll find a few unmutated versions on this page http://www.potafocal.com/Search.aspx?Text=baineann

I didn't know whether you were on about the word "feminine" or the conjugation of the verb "bain" but there are examples for both on the above page.

And here are some more from the new online English Irish dictionary (used backwards!) http://www.focloir.ie/en/search/ei/adv? ... ct=&style=

Bain - is one of those multi-use words/verbs.

Baineann sé a chóta dhó.
He takes his coat off. (dhó - Conamara Irish)

Baineann sé fataí.
He digs patatoes.

Baineann an ghaoth fhuar an ánail dhíom.
Baineann an asme an ánail dhíom.

The wind/ashma takes my breath away.

Bain amach- also means to "win" or to "reach".
Probably not used as often in present tense.
Baineann sé amach Áill na gCaorach chuile lá roimh am lóin.

He reaches Áill na gCaorach every day before lunch. (possibly used more in sailing, but not excusively)

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
