How do I say "I'm starving" in Korean?

🧠

Try "배고파 죽겠어" — literally "hungry, about to die," but it just means starving. Your English brain reaches for "I am very hungry"; a native Korean brain reaches for the death-exaggeration first.

That feels dramatic 😅

🧠

That’s the trap — casual Korean leans on exaggeration for emphasis. Try it on a friend and see how normal it sounds.
