It's not 'I am hungry', it's 'I have hunger'. (If there's any actual German readers/speakers and I misspoke, I apologize. This was almost 15 years ago at this point!) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 child) Native speaker of German here: Both "ich bin hungrig" (I am hungry) and "ich habe Hunger" (I have hunger) are valid German.
