Porco is a common Italian equivalent of 'pork'. It's a masculine gender noun that takes as its definite article 'il' ['the'], and as its indefinite article 'uno' ['a, one']. It's pronounced 'POHR-koh'.

Other equivalents are carne di maiale and carne suina. Both phrases mean 'meat of pigs', 'meat of swine', or 'pork'. They're pronounced 'KAHR-nay* Dee meye*-AH-lay' and 'KAHR-nay SWEE-nah', respectively.

*The sound 'ay' is similar to the sound 'ay' in the English noun 'ray'. The sound 'eye' is similar to the sound of the English noun 'eye'.
