how to say i'm hungry in korean

The most common and polite way to say "I'm hungry" in Korean is 배고파요 (baegopayo). This phrase literally means "stomach is hungry" and is appropriate to use in most situations. In a more formal setting, you can say 배고픕니다 (baegopeumnida), which is the formal version of "I'm hungry." For informal situations, especially with close friends, you can say 배고파 (baegopa). If you want to express a stronger feeling like "I'm so hungry," you can say 너무 배고파요 (neomu baegopayo), and a more dramatic phrase is 배고파 죽겠어요 (baegopa jukgesseoyo), meaning "I'm dying of hunger".
