February 21 is “International Mother Language Day.” In honor of this cultural event, and since it is the world’s most popular meat, we thought we would teach you how to say “pork” in different languages. Now you’ll be equipped to order your favorite protein no matter what country you’re in! So, if your native language is:
- Spanish: carne de cerdo, carne de puerco, or chancho (depending on which country you’re in)
- Italian: carne di maiale
- French: viande de porc
- Mandarin Chinese: 豬肉 or zhu rou
- German: Schweinefleisch
- Japanese: 豚肉 or butaniku
- Russian: свинина or svinina
- Thai: เนื้อหมู or moo
- Pig Latin: Orkpay
If saying pork so many times makes you hungry (it sure did us), keep your international juices flowing with these Chuletas Contentas, Spanish for Happy Pork Chops.
And while you’re at it – spread the Porktastic love in:
- Spanish: Cerdotástico, Puercotástico, Chanchotástico
- Italian: Maialetastico
- French: Porqtastique
- German: Schweinefleishtastisch
- Pig Latin: Orkptasticpay
