For example, if you need food, you can say <span data-no-translation>I am hungry.<\/span> If you want water, you say <span data-no-translation>I am thirsty.<\/span> If you feel too warm, you say <span data-no-translation>I am hot.<\/span> If you feel too cool, you say <span data-no-translation>I am cold.<\/span> Learning these basic adjectives is important for everyday conversations. They are easy to use: just put <span data-no-translation>I am<\/span> before the adjective. This helps others understand you quickly and makes communication simple.
