“I am hungry” may . . . be variously translated as “I have not eaten for a long time” (1), or “That food makes my mouth water” (2), or “I am ravenous” (3) (compare the expression “I was hungrier than I thought” which describes the ingestion of an unexpectedly large amount of food), or “I have hunger pangs.” While all of these may be regarded as synonymous with “I am hungry,” they are not synonymous with each other.
