"Ich bin hungrig." and "Ich habe hunger." which one is correct? or what's difference between them?

Question

Answer

Both sentences are correct and have the same meaning. "Ich habe hunger." is colloquial and frequently used, "Ich bin hungrig." is also correct, but nobody speaks like that...

Answer

Ich bin hunrig(adj).
Ich habe Hunger(n)
der Hunger.
Ich bin durstig.
Ich habe Durst.
Ich bin frei.
Ich habe Frei.

Answer

Both are correct and have the same meaning, ( more or less )
The difference between these two sentence is the grammar.

Ich / bin / hungrig
Subjekt / Verb / Adjektiv

Ich / habe / Hunger
Subjekt / Verb / direct object accusative (Akkusativobjekt).
Do note that "Hunger" is a Subject, and therefore capitalized.
