Hi Please see below: 1- I cannot see him in thirst. 2- I cannot see him thirsty. Are they same? Tom

Hi Tom,

I'd go for:

Quote:

I cannot see him thirsty

although I'd be happier with: I can't bear to see him thirsty the other form

Quote:

in thirst

sounds like something from a 17th century translation of the Bible.
