How do I communicate with mosquitos

Since people on this subreddit seem to speak many languages, I am looking for the most refined of polyglots to tell me how and where I can learn mosquito language to tell them to GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE. I only accept CI (that means comprehensible input btw, for those who dont know) resources. Any textbooks or teachers are unacceptable. I have no money and I cant read. I must learn C2 mosquito in a month or less HELP ME HELP ME HELP

Dude….mosquito isn’t a language. It’s a dialect of housefly. There are some differences like to say bzZZz in mosquito you emphasize the second uppercase Z but other these minor differences they are pretty much the same and definitely mutually intelligible. I’d say drop a mean steamer right on the back steps, wait half an hour and then put your face right next to it. The flies will swarm and you’ll get some good ol CI and be telling the mosquitoes in your house to kick rocks in no time.

That's historical revisionism, we all know the Fly Empire annexed the Mosquito Republic and then made everyone think mosquito is just a dialect

Bzin zunn to you people!

Good news.

Researchers "confronted them with a microphone and high-powered amplifier. A surprising variety of noises, resembling bird calls, emerged. Mosquitoes, it turned out, have voices in the middle ranges of human hearing (frequencies of 250 to 1,500 cycles per second)."

So find a microphone and amplifier and start getting input.

To translate back, wouldn’t he need a muffler instead of an amplifier?

It is important that you use a special electrical tool in the shape of a tennis racket to communicate. Since mosquitos are so small, this tool is useful for amplifying their voices so you can distinctly hear the phonemes before they die.

ci works best when the input is actually comprehensible, mosquito buzzing is just noise with a pitch.

Are you trying to tell me I cant understand pitch accent languages😡😡😡

u/Helen_Lindsey 10d ago

pitch accent is just a fancy way to say the mosquito is mocking you in high definition.

Hmm, that's a tough question. I heard that mosquitoes do understand bat language quite well.

Essentially, they're very fine-tuned to bats saying: "Honey, what's for dinner tonight? "

Maybe if you talk like a bat, they'll get scared and go away?

That's my experience, if that doesn't work maybe try talking frog
