S spagna New Member italian Good morning to everybody. I'm thinking which is the difference between "pig" and "hog". Both the words means "maiale" of animal, or one of these are used as adjective (to tell someone "maiale")? Thanks.

The context: [...]There was an old lady that swallowed a dog what a hog, to swallow a dog [...] Thank you so much Emma ๐ Smile :)
