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!)
minus-squareschnurrito@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9·16 hours agoNative speaker of German here: Both “ich bin hungrig” (I am hungry) and “ich habe Hunger” (I have hunger) are valid German. The latter is more common though, the adjective “hungrig” is more often used as an attributive adjective.
