@Elaina: creo que es un uso erróneo. "Peste" siempre es femenino.


@chanman: I think "peste" can be "pest" when it refers to an epidemic disease associated with high mortality, but not when it's a synonym of "plague". That should be "plaga" in Spanish.

... I'm lost now, because a plague is an epidemic disease associated with high mortality...

Pest, in English, means a nuisance, usually small animals, like bugs or rats.

Pest is related to the English word pestilence which is the effects of the plague often spread by pests. It is related to the Spanish word peste.

Pestilence translated into of the Spanish is pestilencia.


But anyhow that word is used likely when the meet is dead and also mucky.

Mucky is podrido in English, please if you're lovable then you correcting me.

Mucky significa sucio con lodo nada más y tiene poco de ver con peste.

okay, so coming back to my original question.

Can "peste" mean "pest" in the sense of annoying little animals?

[poli]

No it doesn't.

@Chanman: those are "plagas".
