How to use it
Hambre means 'hunger' (the noun). Feminine but takes 'el' before singular (el hambre — to avoid 'la a'-clash). Used with tener: tener hambre.
Common mistake
Hambre uses 'el' singular (sound rule: feminine nouns starting with stressed a- take el). But it's still feminine for adjectives: 'mucha hambre', not 'mucho hambre'.
