Usage notes
editConsogro has two plural forms, both spelled consogros, but pronounced as consôgros and consógros. The former (os consôgros) means exclusively a group of two or more men, the latter (os consógros) is used for a group of both men and women. Both are masculine nouns. The plural of consogra (mother-in-law) is a regular feminine noun (as consogras). This is one of the few Portuguese nouns that have a tripartite plural inflection, the others being avô, sogro, tio-avô, bisavô and other derived terms.
