सूअर का गोश्त (sooar kaa gosht)

noun A compound noun phrase meaning 'pork' -- literally 'pig's meat,' built from सूअर (sooar, 'pig') plus the possessive postposition का (kaa) plus गोश्त (gosht, 'meat/flesh').
Sense 1 : pork (meat of the pig)
noun, masculine
Synonyms: पोर्क (pork, English loanword, common on restaurant menus)
Frequency: low
Cultural Note: Because a large majority of Hindi speakers are Hindu (for whom beef is the bigger taboo) or Muslim (for whom pork is forbidden as haraam (haraam)), pork is the least commonly eaten meat in most of North India and rarely appears on everyday menus outside certain Christian, tribal, or Northeastern communities. You will hear गोश्त (gosht) used generically for 'meat' in Mughlai and Muslim households (often meaning mutton by default), while सूअर का गोश्त (sooar kaa gosht) is specified precisely because pork is the marked, less-assumed option.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to say 'pig meat' by translating word-for-word without the possessive का (kaa) -- the possessive link is required: सूअर का गोश्त (sooar kaa gosht), not सूअर गोश्त (sooar gosht). 2) गोश्त (gosht) itself is grammatically masculine, so agreement follows it, not सूअर (sooar).
