      Could it not be, "the woman eats pork meat". This was marked as wrong.

        "De". Also used in Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I'm thankful to be Latino. :)

          "The woman eats meat of pig." got wrong here.
          The correct answer is "The woman eats pork."

              Because in Romanian we don't have words that distunguish the actual PIG (animal) from its meat (PORK). So it would be really weird to say Femeia mănâncă porc because it would sound like she literally just went out and started eating the animal alive.
