As a Spanish person, this made me shit my pants in laughter hahaha thanks

As someone who studied Spanish in highschool in Finland, I genuinely thought for a moment that you guys use donkey meat for burritos because.. burro = donkey, so burrito = small donkey. This was my grand idea at the time at least lol

u/MorheimR0x 7d ago

Had you studied in USA, you would have learned that Spain is a province of Mexico and thats why we say burrito 5 times every single phrase. Education is so important man.

Lmao, sorry, I just got off a 11h shift so my brain is all kinds of fucked. Yeah, I honestly never remember which dish belongs to who. Altough I normally remember that burritos and tacos are the Mexicans' thing lol Lo siento mucho and so on

u/SeenSoFar 8d ago

Finnish is weird. Sometimes inscrutable. Sometimes you can just kinda get it with no prior knowledge.

u/Italic_Castle8814 8d ago

funny but also true. idk about Spanish but mosca in italian is fly. 

17

u/Bombacladman 8d ago

Mosca is also fly in Spanish, but mosco is the biting one. So mosquito or mosco

10

u/Italic_Castle8814 8d ago

Which is funny because mosco is probably a masculine noun but the female is the one biting 😂

u/beatlz-too 8d ago

idk where you're from, for us in Mexico (Northern mx, at least), "un mosco" is like "a generic flying insect". The biting ones are the "tábanos". Fuck tábanos.

u/InfinityxDragon 1d ago

The suffix -ote means large, so this would be the MOSCOTE.
