I wonder what the female form of zombie might be, if there even is one. Zombie cats? No problem, just google it. Nasty, they look. ---

Hmm, Well, if we were to Italianize this word, one male zombie would be zombo. One female zombie would be zomba. Multiple male zombies would be zombi. Multiple female zombies would be zombe. So multiple zombies of both sexes would be zombi. Checks out. ---

I don’t know Italian. Would a child zombie be a zombino? ---

Absolutely! Zambino/zambini/zambina/zambine The Italian word for older kids is ragazzo in the singular male form. So teenage zombies could be zombazzo/zombazzi and zombazza/zombazze. ---
