I'm thirsty

== English == === Alternative forms === I am thirsty === Phrase === I'm thirsty (usually) I need something to drink (e.g., water). (more generally) I need something, or want something a lot. (euphemistic) I want an alcoholic beverage. ==== Usage notes ==== Although this normally implies that you would like something to drink, it can be used in a more general sense to imply that you need or really want anything very important, as in "I am thirsty for money". Using "I am thirsty for a drink" is redundant (tautological) unless "drink" is being used to mean "alcoholic drink". ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ====
