Maybe I didn't understand what joke are you referring to... is the punchline an answer to "I'm hungry"? If that is the case, there is no name here. In all non-english languages that I know, this sentence has not the same form as "I'm Hungry". For example in French it is "J'ai faim" (literally "I have hunger"), in spanish it can be "Tengo hambre" o "estoy hambriento"; if it was a name it would have different grammar: "Je suis Faim" or "Soy Hambriento". In most romance languages it will be similar. How is it in Russian, Arabic, Chinese?
- jjk166 5y agoThere's nothing specific about hunger, it's just a common example. It's just a response to I am [descriptive adjective] where the adjective is deliberately misinterpreted as a proper name. So it could be "Hi tired, I'm Dad" or "Hi bored, I'm Dad" etc.
