Hello, today we are going to learn the character 饿.
The original writing for 饿 is quite similar with the present writing.
They both includes the writing for 食, which means food, and 我, which means I.
So 饿 indicates that I am hungry, and 饿 means hungry.
Now read after me. 饿 to be hungry
你饿吗? Are you hungry?
我不饿. I'm not hungry.
我一点都不饿. I'm not hungry at all.
我一点都不饿. 我饿了. I'm hungry.
了 here indicates the change of the state.
I am hungry now. 我饿了.
太饿了. 我要去吃饭.
太 to too much
太饿了. I'm so hungry.
我要去吃饭. 要 want
去 go 吃饭 eat
太饿了. 我要去吃饭。
OK, that's all for today. See you next time.
