豚とん児じ

noun

my child; my son

Humble term used to refer to one's own child, especially a son, when speaking to others. Conveys modesty by literally meaning 'pig child'. Not used for others' children.

• 豚とん児じがいつもお世せ話わになっております。

  My son is always in your care.

• 豚とん児じの入にゅう学がく式しきにご出しゅっ席せきいただきありがとうございます。

  Thank you for attending my child's school entrance ceremony.

noun

piglet

Rare literal meaning; almost never used in modern Japanese outside of historical or literary contexts. The humble sense is overwhelmingly more common.

• 古ふるい文ぶん献けんでは「豚とん児じ」が文も字じ通どおり子こ豚ぶたを指さすことがある。

  In old texts, 豚児 can literally refer to a piglet.
