Dingi.

Pronounced ding eye? Dingii? Ding gee eye?

My brain hurts now.

It rhymes with dinghy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But thats just a single dinghy.

If you pluralize that its either dinghies or dingii?

Meh, my autistic brain gets stuck on weird stupid shit like this.

Its like... If you have a donut, then a second donut, you have two donuts.

You can say two donut to be cutesy i guess?

Very hard for me to tell when being cutesy is appropriate.

One dingus, two dingi.

If the root singular word is dingus, this makes sense.

If the root singular word is dinghy, as I guess I have always said, then it does not.

Well at least I partially understand my own confusion now, thanks!
