The first is too formal for natural English.

'Have hunger' would also be too formal-- if not stilted-- here, though, Hanifasmm.

1. I feel hungry.
2. I am hungry.
3. I am hunger. (Not sensible)
4. I have hunger. (remotely used)
Am i not correct?
Please comment,
Thanks,

Actually, without some sort of modification, #4 is not even remote, though grammatical.

Yes ok .... but use the preposition "for" with "have hunger" e.g. I have hunger for ......
I am hunger .... not really unless you are the God of hunger .... or in a certain context, you are telling someone you are going to force them to starve ... then I am your hunger .... like I am your worst nightmare ... But as MC correctly said ,,,, forget using it because it needs a lot of context, feeling, clever wording ... etc |
