Số nhiều: baysQuá khứ: bayedPhân từ 2: bayedV-ing: baying

The word carries a strong sense of enclosure and protection. When describing geography, it evokes a feeling of sanctuary and calm water sheltered from the open ocean's volatility. This sense of a designated, carved-out space extends to architectural usage, where a bay represents a functional slot or a specific partitioned zone within a larger structure. In its auditory sense, the word is visceral and loud. It is not a simple bark but a resonant, echoing call. This creates a stark contrast between the silent, still image of a coastal bay and the noisy, urgent sound of a hunting dog in pursuit.

Countable when referring to a specific geographic feature or a parking slot. Uncountable when referring to the general concept of a coastal indentation.
