Je suis faim. In French, the standard basic expression is:

• J'ai faim — I’m hungry. This literally translates to “I have hunger,” which is the common way French expresses hunger in everyday speech.

If you want alternatives with varying emphasis or formality:

• Je meurs de faim — I’m starving (very strong/slangy).
• J’ai la dalle — I’m famished (informal, slang).
• J’ai un petit creux — I’m a little hungry (less hungry, casual).

Notes:

• The literal grammatical pattern is avoir + faim (to have hunger) rather than être + faim. This is why you’ll hear “J’ai faim” rather than “Je suis faim.”

• Pronunciation hints:
  • J'ai faim is pronounced approximately “zhay fam” in standard French.

* For learners, listening to native speakers and repeating helps with the liaison and final consonant softly.

If you’d like, I can tailor examples to a specific situation (restaurant, travel, etc.) or provide pronunciation practice.
