hambre

hambre

Spanish

Noun

hambre f ‎(plural hambres)

hunger

¿Qué te parece si comemos? - No tengo hambre.
What do you think if we eat now? - I'm not hungry.

Sí, me muero de hambre. - Yes, I'm starving. (literally 'dying of hunger')

Usage notes

The feminine noun hambre is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed a sound in that it takes the definite article el (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:

el hambre

However, if an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.
