In Brazilian Portuguese, physical sensations and bodily needs are expressed using the verb estar, the preposition com, and a noun.

To say that you are hungry, use the noun fome: 'estou com fome' means I am hungry. To say that someone else is thirsty, use the noun sede: 'ele está com sede' means he is thirsty.
