  10. Gaelic has this in …
    Gaelic has this in common with Spanish. A more direct translation of “tengo hambre” would be “I have hunger” not “I am hungry”. In Gaelic, wants and needs such as hunger are expressed as “there is a hunger in me” – “ta ocras orm”. Having said that, it is never a good idea to try to translate simple phrases exactly. It’s the intent of the words that is more important than the direct translation.

    I’m hungry = Tengo …
    I’m hungry = Tengo hambre
    I’m sorry = Siento mucho
    hambre isn’t a verb, therefore you use Tengo. If it was Lo Siento, Siento is a verb…

  18. LO HAMBRE is …
    LO HAMBRE is icorrect expresion in spanish, if you want to say “I am hungry” you say TENGO HAMBRE, LO and TENGO are diferent verbs, for the verb to be, in spanish we use 2 diferent verbs, example: “I am Robert”= YO SOY ROBERTO “I am tired” = YO ESTOY CANSADO

  19. In spanish “I’m …
    In spanish “I’m sorry” is “Lo Siento” literally is “I feel it” or “I sense it” in which english “it” is the spanish “lo” (just in this case with a verb and Lo (it)).
