No- you still talk about 'un porc' in french.

What is the english translation of that? Is it 'pig' or 'pork'?


A pig in French is "un cochon" and the dictionary gives "un porc" too. I've
never heard the latter used to describe a pig but only to describe the meat
as in "cotelette de porc" for example.
