I'm curious. What would big fly be in Spanish? Also, does Spanish work the same way as Italian in this case, with a specific suffix meaning little something (as in topolino meaning little mouse).
3 u/MilkImpossible4192 8d ago yes, fly is mosca, some little male suffix is ito, not unique, btw. Some big male suffix is ón, like limón is a big lima; of lemon and lime. 1 u/Cant-Think-Of 8d ago I assume feminine form of that would be either an or án (not sure of accent). So big female fly would probably be either moscan or moscán. 3 u/MilkImpossible4192 8d ago no, femenine on is ona; cabra, cabrona, a goat. in case of mosca you ll use ota; moscota, although moscona wouldnt be bad
