to give birth · N1

生む (うむ, umu) — to give birth — is a godan verb ending in む: 生んで (te-form), 生んだ (past), 生まない (negative), 生みます (polite).

It is transitive: it takes a direct object. It also means to bear; to lay.

Which one depends on the ending. The five are one line of the hiragana chart — same consonant, vowels あ・い・う・え・お — and everything before that kana never changes.
