The literal definition is clean but it refers to:

Animals- Both wild and domesticated animals excluding fish and fowl which will be addressed later

Must have split hooves and chew it cud.

Fish - must have both fins and removable scales

Fowl - This gets a bit complicated. The Torah lists 70 birds that are not Kosher and sais everything else is. Moses was taught what each bird was and taught Israel. After the Jews were exiled the names of the birds in Hebrew were slowly forgotten and it was decided that only a bird that has a "tradition" of being kosher is considered Kosher. Therefore nowadays only a handful of birds are considered Kosher such as Chicken,dove,quale,duck goose, additionaly since a tradiotion is needed Jews in different parts of the world may have different traditions or local birds. Turkey has sparked a debate amongst many since if it is a north American bird how can we have a tradition for it? Regardless the vast majority of observant Jews still eat it
