O verbo "to lay" é bastante versátil e pode ser traduzido de diversas formas, dependendo do contexto. Algumas opções são:

  • Colocar: No sentido de posicionar algo em um lugar. Exemplo: "Vou colocar o livro na mesa" ("I will lay the book on the table").
  • Deitar: Quando se refere a fazer algo ou alguém ficar em uma posição horizontal, embora essa tradução seja mais comum para "to lie". Exemplo: "Ele deitou o bebê no berço" ("He laid the baby in the crib").
  • Pôr: Similar a "colocar", mas um pouco mais formal. Exemplo: "Ela pôs a chave em cima da mesa" ("She laid the key on the table").
  • Estender: Em contextos como "lay a foundation" ou "lay a cable", pode ser traduzido como "estender". Exemplo: "Eles estão estendendo os cabos elétricos" ("They are laying the electrical cables").
