    How it works

    Formed by the reflexive form of the verb 'dar' (to give) combined with the indefinite noun phrase 'un baño' (a bath). The reflexive pronoun changes to agree with the subject (e.g., 'me doy un baño', 'nos damos un baño'). It can refer literally to personal hygiene at home, taking a swim/dip outdoors, or figuratively to immersion in something.
