The standard way to say "I'm hungry" in Spanish is [tengo hambre](javascript:void(0)). This phrase literally translates to "I have hunger," using the verb tener (to have) rather than the verb ser or estar (to be). Other ways to express hunger in Spanish include:
- [me muero de hambre](javascript:void(0)) – "I'm starving" (more informal, dramatic)
- [estoy hambriento/hambrienta](javascript:void(0)) – "I'm famished" (a more formal expression)
- [quiero comer algo](javascript:void(0)) – "I want something to eat" (casual, can imply craving rather than hunger)
Among these, [tengo hambre](javascript:void(0)) is the most common and straightforward way to communicate hunger in everyday conversation.
