minus-squareBOMBS@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 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.

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.
