Disznó

Disznó is the Hungarian word for pig. It refers to the domestic pig, Sus scrofa domesticus, a domesticated subspecies of the wild boar. Pigs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are raised globally for their meat, fat, and other products. In Hungarian culture, pork plays a significant role in cuisine, with many traditional dishes featuring it prominently. The word "disznó" can also be used colloquially to refer to a large, often unclean, person or animal, similar to the English word "hog." However, its primary meaning remains the animal itself. The raising of pigs, known as pig farming or pork production, is a common agricultural practice in Hungary. This involves breeding, rearing, and slaughtering pigs to meet demand for pork products. The animal is characterized by its stout body, bristly hair, and a snout used for rooting in the ground.
