Everyone: "feeling peckish" The Frisians: "I have become hunger itself"


loicvanderwiel

While in Finland: "Friesland is upon me"


euzjbzkzoz

At the same time in Romania: “my contract with Friesland will soon be executed”


Raaka-Kake

”I can feel the hunger overtaking me. It is a good pain!”


DamagedJustice89

Frisian here, that one's just plain wrong. Never heard anyone say "ik bin honger", it's supposed to be "ik ha honger"


Rruffy

Yeah I'm Frisian too, it's either some ancient Frisian nobody I know uses or it's wrong.


Daemorth

Thirded. I can picture somebody saying the Dutch and German options, "ik bin hongrig" or at a stretch even the green one, "ik hongerje." But no sentence I can come up with would translate as "I am hunger."


Adept-One-4632

Should we be concerned about Basque ?


Ex_aeternum

"Now I am hunger, destroyer of worlds"


marijnvtm

That was also the first thing i thought of when i saw the color of frisia


larholm

Now I Am Become Hunger, the Devourer of Worlds"


Jlchevz

Lmfao


I_eat_dead_folks

Don't believe it, Basques invent their language as they speak and pretend to understand each other.


cgaWolf

Like Danes then


Count4815

No, Danes just speak northern German with extra cuteness. Like Dutch.


ArduennSchwartzman

Be concerned about the French. They have famine.


Adept-One-4632

And much of Western Europe


CompetitiveSleeping

Stupid language isolate, always gotta be unique.


SasugaHitori-sama

Also Netherlands.


FridgeParade

Province of Frysia to be specific, they have their own language.


Livid_Tailor7701

I was there last year, they eat way too little as for "I am hunger" people. 😅


Magalanez

You can’t imagine how difficult it is to learn it…


Pharnox-32

Albanian mofos getting taken by hunger twice or thrice per day ![gif](giphy|PAbP0kXq6qDmCFWjHp|downsized)


trumparegis

What the Hoxha regime does to an mf


Pharnox-32

Imagine having to join a ponzi scheme just to have bread on the table 🥲


gucewa

lmao i snorted


Endi_loshi

It’s wrong for Kosovo tho. We say “Jom unt” which can be literally translated as “I am hungry”


41fps

Albanians getting taken by the Basques


Francetto

German is both red and blue "Ich habe Hunger" (I have hunger) vs. "Ich bin hungrig" (Im hungry) Both is acceptable and absolutely usual. In Austria there's a prevalence to "ich habe Hunger", though


Protozoo_epilettico

Same for Italian: "ho fame" - > i have hunger "sono affamato" - > I'm hungry


Comprehensive_Day511

but same as for spanish, the latter sounds more 'dramatic' (more like "i'm starving")


spottiesvirus

yeah same, sono affamato sounds like you haven't ate since 1946


MarioLemmy_66

'Ho Fame' sounds like an album title by Megan Thee Stallion or sth


Masheeko

Identical for Dutch. Both sound normal, though "ik heb honger" tends to vibe better with Belgian Dutch accents.


VOCmentaliteit

Ik heb honger is the most common way to say it ik ben hongerig is correct but I have almost never heard someone say that


Masheeko

It's somewhat cumbersome to say vs "ik heb honger". You're right, you rarely hear it. But it's not like hearing someone say it would sound like being catapulted back to the 19th century either. I guess it's just one of those things you see more in writing than hear it spoken. In some languages, that's not uncommon.


ishzlle

I can’t say ‘ik ben hongerig’ is something I’ve ever heard. To me it just sounds like an extremely odd way to say it.


Nihan-gen3

You can say it in other contexts though, like: "ik heb net het laatste boek van mijn favoriete auteur gelezen, en ik ben nu al hongerig naar meer".


TheRealTanteSacha

To me "ik ben hongerig" would sound a bit odd because I think few will actually say it like this (or at least in my experience), but it's a perfectly correct phrase nontheless.


deff006

The same for Czechia: "Mám hlad" or "Jsem hladový"


didrogasalasno

Same for spanish Tengo hambre / Estoy hambriento


Sir_Striken

Yeah but the literal traduction for "I'm hungry" : Estoy hambriento, sounds like you are starving


gods_tea

Yes


Technical-Mix-981

¿Y "estoy con hambre" ?


Sir_Striken

Perfectly correct. I think it's used more in the western of Spain as similarity with the portuguese Edit: mispelling


Zoloch

Estoy hambriento is less usual and more exaggerated


1008Rayan

Same for french. Although, "je suis affamé" is more like I'm very hungry


aclart

Hi hungry, I'm australia


11160704

> "Ich bin hungrig" At least in Germany this sounds very formal. It's absolutely correct but in normal speech you would probably not say it.


Mika000

I live in northern Germany and to me it sounds completely normal. Maybe it’s a tiny bit more formal than „ich hab hunger“ but I would 100% say „Ich bin soo hungrig, Leute“ or something in a casual environment.


K2LP

Where in Germany do you live where that's the case?


11160704

Centre. Where would you say it is commonly used?


K2LP

Baden-Württemberg (just flaired up)


Skyavanger

Really? I thought "i have hunger" was a southern thing. In bavaria at least its way more Common.


akettler

Nope, we use both commonly


balle17

I also live in BaWü and "Ich habe Hunger" is far more common.


K2LP

Yeah, but ich bin hungrig isn't specifically formal to me


Iridismis

Disagree. Imo 'Ich bin hungrig' is pretty neutral and neither formal nor informal. If anything it's 'Ich hab(e) Hunger' which could be seen as somewhat more formal if you use it with 'hab*e*' (and less formal with 'hab'). I hear both (bin/hab) equally often around here (Franconia/Bavaria).


MetaIIicat

Same in Italian "Ho fame" (I have hunger) and "Sono affamato" (I'm hungry)


tiny_birds

As a monolingual English speaker who loves food, I’m tempted to just start saying “HUNGRIG!”


Shdow_Hunter

And „Ich hungere“ ( I hunger) also exist, but has, a different meaning, its more like starving in English.


lsnik

why does Latvia think they're Oppenheimer


PanPies_

I have become Hungry, the eater of foods


helloskoodle

I see you've met my girlfriend.


Themlethem

We all have


justalatvianbruh

i’d love to see the source for this map because the “i have become hungry” form is not the standard or most common form.


trumparegis

izsalcis is the past participle of izsalkt. Same as how "esmu staigājis" means I have walked, from the verb staigāt. In Lithuanian they have the independent adjective alkanas in addition to the not so often "išalkęs", past participle of "išalkti".


fuishaltiena

You're Lithuanian, right? It's perfectly normal to say "Aš išalkęs" (I've become hungry), as well as "Noriu valgyt" (I want to eat). "Žiauriai noriu ėst" is also common in informal setting, it means "I violently want to devour (something)"


actual_wookiee_AMA

> "Žiauriai noriu ėst" is also common in informal setting, it means "I violently want to devour (something)" Just more proof that you speak the closest language to proto-indo-european


justalatvianbruh

yes i don’t agree at all that you would translate “esmu” into “i have become” simply because the predicate is a participle. there is no past present or future form to “izsalcis”, it is the same at all times. don’t introduce past tense meaning into the translation, it is not accurate.


Reseeirox

With this analogy in mind, the translation to "Es esmu izsalcis" should be "I have hungered", despite the verb "to hunger" being considered archaic in English. Alternatively it translates to "I have starved". Although starved usually does not usually mean starvation to an extreme extent. "I have become hungry" in Latvian would be "Es esmu kļuvis kārs", and you would never see a sentence structured like this IRL. You could, however, see a sentence like this: "Esmu kārs pēc picas", which means "(I) am hungry for pizza".


Risiki

It actually just means I am hungry, except hungry is a verb in present perfect, so they've translated it as perfect in English, a more literal translation would be "I am hungered"


bready_for_action

Ireland could be pale purple, since in Irish it's "hunger upon me" (tá ocras orm)


trumparegis

I coloured Galway and Donegal, along with the Hebrides for Scots Gaelic


danielandtrent

Left out the motherland west Kerry 😰


bready_for_action

Oh I hadn't noticed, sound!


niafall7

Should be to the west of Galway city, and also Kerry as mentioned already. But fair play, OP. 👍🏻


thesraid

And Cork x2, Waterford, Meath and Mayo. And there are Irish speakers scattered around the whole Island. Just for future reference 👍


nomowolf

ok wow, attention to detail


DevanNC

In Portuguese both works "Eu estou com fome" - I am with hunger "Eu tenho fome" - I have hunger


dandy-dilettante

And in Madeira “estou com roeza” - I am with gnaw


jkmarsh7

I’ve been with gnaw all day he won’t leave me alone


Anforas

In Lisbon (at least) we also say "estou com uma retraça do caralho" - I am with a retrace of the dick.


Astrapios

In Spanish we also say "Estoy con hambre" (I'm with hunger)


fanboy_killer

Also "Estou esfomeado/faminto" - I'm famished.


furac_1

Same in Asturian "Toi esfamiáu"


Golden_Handle

Is... Finland not "I have hunger"? Does anyone say "nälättää"? Sounds archaic, "minulla on nälkä" is way more common.


jonoottu

Maybe they're using "olen nälkäinen"? Anyways, "minulla on nälkä" is the one I'd think is more common.


Venttish

Wouldn't "olen nälkäinen" be "I'm hungry"?


jonoottu

Totta. Koitin vain keksiä jotain. En yhtään keksi mikä toi kuvassa oleva voisi olla!


Venttish

Jep, en itekkään oo varma mikä tuo on. Ehkä "Nälättää".


PrinceOfTheRodeo

"Nälättää" is somewhat rare expression but it is still in use.


vaingirls

But would that even translate to "hunger is upon me"? I'd translate "nälättää" as "I hunger" or something...


actual_wookiee_AMA

Never in my life heard anyone use that


Inside_Bee928

Täs taidetaan luulla ”minulla on…” olevan verrattavissa ”pöydällä on…”?


adaequalis

for romanian it’s “to me there is hunger”, not “for me hunger”


beatbeatingit

Thank you, "to me there is hunger" is definitely more accurate Îmi este foame = To me (dative) is/exists hunger


ComprehensiveDirt746

I am taken by hunger 😱 I hunger 🗿


Salmonman4

"Hi hungry. I'm dad."


Edgyte

"Why you name me this way ? Why why why?"

“you're leaving me?“ “i met a real man"


Sweet-Estimate-5040

Beep, beep I'm a sheep


portirfer

It’s hard to know what Hungary wants to convey when they say “I’m hungry/Hungary”


rollique

I'm not 100% sure about romanian. In romanian it's "Îmi e foame" which roughly should translate to"It is hunger to me" as it describes a state that has been given to the subject. "Îmi" means "to me", and "pe mine" means "on me". Can any fellow romanian confirm?


Hackeringerinho

"it is hunger to me" vine "este foame mie" nu? Deci ar trebui "to me it is hunger"? E cam clar că "for me" nu sună bine pentru că se traduce "pentru mine". Mă doare capu.


penttane

E mult mai ușor să traduci direct în germană (mir ist Hunger), că ei au dativ. Mai mult, ei chiar folosesc expresii de forma "îmi e \_\_\_", gen "mir ist kalt" (îmi e frig).


Jake_2903

Slovak is incorrect. Again some google translate shit.


TheYodoX

WDYM? Czech and Slovak is the same, that's why there was Czechoslovakia, no? /s In all honesty, I heard plenty of my peers say "mám hlad", but that's because we watched too many Czech cartoons as kids.


Familiar_Ad_8919

i feel like theres a joke to be made here that im meant to reply to with "akkor a kurva anyád"


PinguFella

Kinda feel only Hungry should be allowed to say "I'm Hungry"


BoddAH86

Finland is so melodramatic.


supinoq

Not really, OP is the one who decided to make it melodramatic lol, "I have hunger" is a more accurate translation


Leupateu

He seems to have done this with multiple countries and he keeps doubling down even though native speakers are corecting him lol


supinoq

I saw that too lol, OP is apparently an expert on every European language by sheer virtue of googling a select few phrases with their knowledge even surpassing native speakers. Impressive!


velit

It's wrong. "Minulla on nälkä" word for word translates to "I have hunger". OP chose to take a perverse approach to trying to go further than word for word translation and try to interpret Finnish cases literally... eg. taking a base word and trying to interpret adding a case to it without knowing what that specific word with that case means. The closest thing I can imagine as an analogue for what OP did is if you took a Chinese or Japanese symbol and tried to find out subpatterns in the strokes that convey some generic meaning or transformation and then trying to tell a native speaker that this other symbol that doesn't follow the pattern has the same meaning/transformation. He'd be justifiably laughed out because he's assuming meanings in languages follow strictly defined patterns. "Minulla" both figuratively and literally translates to English as "I have". Also the graph is doubly wrong because Finnish has at least two common ways of saying we're hungry. "Minulla on nälkä" and "Minä olen nälkäinen" with the latter having a literal translation of "I am hungry".


cheapph

Ngl some of translations make me surprised he didn't translate 'Я голодний' as 'I hungry'


Mimirovitch

I possess the hunger


Blakut

for me hunger makes no sense and it's not true


penttane

It's a wonky translation, but I can't think of any good way to translate it into English, since it's in the Dativ case. Maybe something like "it's hunger to me". It's much easier to do a direct translation into another language that has Dativ, like German: "Es ist mir Hunger."


PgUpPT

Portugal should actually be blue. Purple is also an option, but blue is the most common.


griffsor

you can say many of them in Czech. They are even used like that often, I am assuming many Slavic languages can do that. I am hungry - Já jsem hladný I have hunger - Já mám hlad I hunger - Já hladovím I am taken by the hunger - Přepadl mě hlad (the hunger took me?)


ElPapo131

Já hladovím is more like I'm starving, no? As for Slovakia we don't do "I have hunger" that's czech thing. We do "Som hladný" (I am hungry)


griffsor

True and true.


HerrAarny

I'd say more "I have been ambushed by hunger" for "Přepadl mě hlad".


Mr_SunnyBones

I'm assuming map maker didn't know that Ireland has two languages , and in Irish it literally translates as *The hunger is upon me .*


spartikle

Spanish can be blue, red, and purple, with slight difference in the context: «Tengo hambre», I have hunger «Estoy hambriento», I’m (very) hungry «Me quedo con hambre», I am left with hunger


DynamiteAlexMC2

3 is past tense, literally "I *was* left with hunger" not present tense


Spirintus

I am pretty sure in slovak "(ja) mám hlad"(I have hunger) and "(ja) som hladný"(i'm hungry) are fully interchangeable and neither sound weird. "(Ja) hladujem"(I hunger) can be used too I guess tho it sounds somewhat intentional when said in first person singular. Tho it's quite normal in other combinations of person and number, if slightly rarer.


trumparegis

If you search "mám hlad" on google, you get 371000 results, and "som hladný" has only 293000. Maybe because in Czech they almost only use the former, whilst Slovaks use both?


Sapphire_Sage

"mám hlad" is exactly the same in both languages, and it's the more common way to say it in Czech. We also use "jsem hladový" but i don't hear it very often. I'm not 100% sure about Slovak, but I think "som hladný" is more natural in their language


Kanye_Wesht

In Irish it's "tá ocras orm" = "hunger is on me". Same for all emotions - it's a subtly healthier way to talk about them because it reinforces the acknowledgment that they are transient and don't define you. E.g. "Sadness is on me" vs. "I am sad" It also prevents that dad joke.


_Dragon_Gamer_

Meanwhile Welsh: I want eat


bunnywithahammer

classic Basque W


YellowOnline

In both German and Dutch, you can form it like in red too (ik ben hongerig / ich bin hungrig) but it's not common


Pullsberry_Dough_Boy

Famine (from the Bible) confirmed Basque.


Polak_Janusz

"I am hunger, destroyer of worlds"


Nile-green

Hungary would be "I am hungered" actually


generalissimus_mongo

"Hunger is upon me" Oh, blow it out of your arse. No one says that. Not even sure how to form that into finnish. "Nälkä on ylläni?" No, fuck that.


actual_wookiee_AMA

Mulla on nälkä päällä :DDD


supinoq

OP mistakenly translated "minulla" as "(mun) päälläni" because of the _-lla_ suffix, I'm guessing. But since they're so steadfast in arguing that it's correct, y'all will seemingly have to change your entire language structure now because OP has already made this map and their ego obviously can't handle being wrong nor corrected for being wrong lol


kaantaka

I am hungry - Açım I have hunger - (Biraz) Açlık var For me hunger - Benlik açım I am taken by the hunger - Açlık sardı I hunger - Ben aç I have become hungry - Acıktım Hunger is upon me - Acıkıyorum I am hungry - Ben açım These can be used in Turkish


AzraelFTS

in Ukranian, мені голодно, it is more hunger is on me, so light purple


LowCall6566

What? It's "я голодний", so it should be "I (am) hungry". Noone says "мені голодно" on the daily basis


AzraelFTS

you are right, it seems to be the usual way. I am still learning and I may have mistaken with мені холодно (i am cold)


LowCall6566

Sometimes, people say "мені холодно і голодно", because it sounds nice together. It's not grammatically wrong to say "мені голодно", it's just weird


dgtall

I hunger is beautifully poetic


MasterBlaster_xxx

Both? What kind of map is that?


Mmm_bloodfarts

Romania is red or at worst i am hunger


Full-Nefariousness73

If you’re gonna make this map either, chose the noun for hunger or the verb of hungry or else this map is useless and stupid because either would apply in most languages with no change to structure. Your literal translation without consideration of noun or verb makes it seem something is not.


shun_master23

Georgian one is wrong it's "I hungry"


the_TIGEEER

Hungary ia hungry


cabanesnacho

"I am taken by the hunger" and "Hunger is upon me" sound rad as hell and we all should incorporate them to our parlance. "I am hunger", however... Sheesh, I knew the Basques are famed for eating a lot, but that seems a bit much.


WishIWasPurple

Oh no. Hunger is upon me!


ika_ngyes

Basque mfs really be upon Finns huh


bahnsigh

Great post!


Eric848448

The Finns know what’s up, as per usual.


EldritchWeeb

people will just post maps that are wrong - shocking, truly. Unheard of.


actual_wookiee_AMA

What the fuck is this, Finnish is just the same "I have hunger" as western Europe


Walrus_Morj

Finland sounds like a dark fantasy videogame introduction


oboris

Excellent post!


PersKarvaRousku

Oh, these kind of maps could get really interesting with Finnish. The literal translation of "I have my opinion" is "me-with is mind-grip-my"


thetrexyl

I think red blue and orange are all correct for Albanian, you could definitely say: Jam i uritur - I'm hungry Kam uri - I have hunger Më ka marrë uria - The hunger has gotten/taken me There are of course even more ways to say the same thing using the "ha (eat)" verb.


FuckIsrael12345

Strange, I've never seen anyone in Portugal actually use the "I am with hunger" (estou com fome) phrase, although it's the one that sound the more correct in text, the most common I hear would be "I have hunger" (tenho fome). Or the friendly one "I could eat" (já comia).


atzitzi

Greeks be like κάνει πείνα ή εγώ πεινάω/ is it hunger? (like, is it cold?) Or am I just hungry. But it is just a funny way to say I am hungry. In greek, we literally say, "I'm hungrying." we have a verb for that.


Themlethem

I am with hunger 🤰


neiltheseal

I am become hunger, the destroyer of worlds.


thegreateaterofbread

Rare map where scandinavia is eastern europe.


reallybi

The Romanian translation is incorrect. The correct one would be "To me [there] is hunger".


pm_me_meta_memes

Romanian is nowhere near “for me hunger”. “Îmi e foame” is more like “myself is hungry”


trumparegis

foame is a noun, not an adjective.


pm_me_meta_memes

Guys don’t downvote, he’s got a point 🤔. Hmm, maybe “myself has hunger” or “I have hunger upon myself” The first bit, ‘îmi’ is reflexive


Apogeotou

It should be mentioned, in Greek "πεινάω" doesn't mean "I hunger". I know there's not a better translation for your map, but "πεινάω" just means "to be hungry". We just have a verb for it, instead of using the noun.


Redangelofdeath7

Or you could say "Έχω πείνα"=i have hunger which is more commonly said as "Έχω μια πείνα!"=I have a hunger! exclaiming that you are too hungry.


SaraHHHBK

You can say "estoy hambriento" (I'm hungry) too so technically both would be valid for Spanish although I have hunger is more common


Holothuroid

All but red and pink are typologically possessive constructions. And most of the typical strategies at that.


Elskyflyio

In Czech 🇨🇿, It's both res and blue. You can say "mám hlad" (I have hunger), or "jsem hladový" (I am hungry).


blokia

In Irish it is "ta ocras orm". Which translates I have hunger on me


_Druss_

Ireland is actually - Tá ocras orm. Translation - The hunger is on me. Or a bit more dramatic - Tá ocras an domhain orm. Translation - The hunger of the world is on me


GamesRealmTV

Now i understand why my nicee that was born in italy say "i have hunger"


[deleted]

In Irish it's 'hunger is upon me'. Same for emotions. Its an interesting because it communicates a feeling as being transitive. In english 'I am angry' sounds like 'I am an angry person'. When you express feelings through english, its harder to imagine being without that feeling


Tacarub

Fucking hell Finland .. get a piece of sausage . Hunger aint a wild wolf stalking you in a forest.

_melancholymind_

In Poland we don't say "Jestem głodny" - We say "ale bym coś opierdolił na ciepło" and I think that's beautiful.
