minus-squareBOMBSlinkEnglish7•1 year agoyeah, but mosca is femenine while mosquito is masculine. a small mosca would be a mosquita. a large mosquito would be a mosco. an even larger mosco would a moscon. and even even larger moscon would be a mosconaso.
minus-squarebrianorcalink6•1 year agoBut it’s only the female mosquito which is bothersome. We should probably have called them mosquita.
minus-squareBOMBSlinkEnglish1•1 year agoIf someone told me there was a mosconaso outside, I’d seriously be concerned 😱 😆
minus-squareLemminarylink3•edit-21 year agoOr moscote, or mosconón. Mosconaso sounds to me like a large swarm of mosquitoes. Lol
minus-square@UltravioletlinkEnglish3•1 year agoGrammatical gender in Spanish is rarely consistent anyway.
minus-squareBOMBSlinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoEven weirder: the main informal terms for genitals are not congruent with the genital sex. Pinga is feminine Bollo is masculine Papaya is delicious
yeah, but mosca is femenine while mosquito is masculine. a small mosca would be a mosquita. a large mosquito would be a mosco. an even larger mosco would a moscon. and even even larger moscon would be a mosconaso.
