Spanish male
noun meaning "
pig".
Pronunciation: pu-AIR-co. You want to mush the first two syllables together, almost like "pwAIR".
Plural: los puercos.
Example: El puerco es un animale muy limpio (The pig is a very clean animal).
Note the common root with the English word "pork" (although puerco is not a true cognate, except maybe with porker).
