Nous allons commencer notre tour des animaux de la ferme…. Avec les cochons !
We are going to start our tour of the farm animals with the pigs!
Un monsieur cochon s’appelle un verrat – c’est un nom que beaucoup de Français ne connaissent pas. En fait, je l’ai cherché dans le dictionnaire !
A gentleman pig is called a boar – it’s a name many French people don’t know. Actually, I looked it up in the dictionary!
Une dame cochon s’appelle une truie – attention, à ne pas confondre avec “une truite” ! Ça, c’est un poisson :-)
A lady pig is called a sow – watch out, not to be mistaken with “a trout”! That is a fish :-)
On leur donne des carottes, et avec la magie de Minecraft… Voici un porcelet.
Ohhh! Il est trop mignon !
You give them carrots, and with Minecraft magic… Here is a piglet.
Ohhh it’s too cute!
À noter ; quand on mange le cochon, il change de nom ! On appelle généralement la viande du cochon “le porc”.
Note: when we eat pig, it changes them! We usually call the meat “porc”.

And to end our farm tour, we’ll go see the the chicken.
A gentleman chicken is called a rooster, and a lady chicken is called, well, a hen, in all simplicity! The hen lays an egg and inside, there is a chick.
À noter ; attention !! La prononciation “un oeuF” mais “des oeufs”. Sans “f”. C’est bizarre, je sais…
Note: watch out !! The pronunciation: “un N-euF” with an F (and a N sound at the beginning after “un”) but “des Z-eu” without the F (and with a Z sound at the beginning). It’s weird, I know…
Pour la viande, on dit “le poulet”.
