When you're starting to learn Tagalog, you'll often encounter the word Gutom, which means 'hungry.' It's a very common adjective that you'll use daily.
It can be used simply to state that you are hungry, or to ask someone if they are hungry.
You'll notice it often pairs with 'Ako' (I/me) or 'Ikaw' (you) to form basic sentences.
Mastering this word early on will help you express a fundamental need and engage in simple conversations.
When we say "gutom," it means "hungry." It's a fundamental word to express a basic need. You'll use this word often in everyday conversations, especially when you're talking about food or meal times. It's also a good way to start learning how to describe your feelings and states in Tagalog.
When we say "gutom," we're talking about the sensation of needing food. It's pretty straightforward! Think of it like saying "hungry" in English.
It can also be used figuratively sometimes, like someone being "hungry for success," but in everyday Tagalog, it usually just means a rumbling tummy. So, if you hear someone say "Gutom ako," they're simply letting you know they need to eat.
§ Basic Sentences with Gutom
The word Gutom means 'hungry' in Tagalog. It's an adjective, so it describes a state of being. You'll often use it with words like 'ako' (I/me), 'ka' (you), 'siya' (he/she/it), 'tayo' (we/us, inclusive), 'kami' (we/us, exclusive), 'sila' (they/them), or 'kayo' (you, plural/formal).
Let's look at some simple ways to say you're hungry.
Gutom ako.
- Definition
- I am hungry.
Gutom ka ba?
- Definition
- Are you hungry?
You can also place the pronoun first, especially in more casual speech. Both forms are common.
Ako ay gutom.
- Definition
- I am hungry. (Slightly more formal, uses 'ay' which functions like 'is/am/are')
§ Expressing Levels of Hunger
You can add adverbs to describe how hungry someone is. Common adverbs include 'sobra' (very/excessively), 'medyo' (a little/somewhat), or 'talaga' (really/truly).
Sobra akong gutom.
- Definition
- I am very hungry.
Medyo gutom pa ako.
- Definition
- I'm still a little hungry. ('Pa' means 'still' or 'yet')
§ Asking About Others' Hunger
When asking if someone else is hungry, you'll use the appropriate pronoun. Remember that 'kayo' can be plural 'you' or a polite 'you' for a single person.
Gutom ba sila?
- Definition
- Are they hungry?
Kayo ba ay gutom?
- Definition
- Are you (plural/formal) hungry?
§ Related Phrases and Usage
You might also hear or use Gutom in other common phrases:
To say 'I'm getting hungry' or 'I feel hungry,' you can use the word 'ginugutom' which implies the action of becoming hungry.
Ginugutom na ako.
- Definition
- I'm getting hungry now. ('Na' indicates a change of state or 'now')
When someone asks 'Why are you hungry?', you might answer using 'kasi' (because) or 'dahil' (because).
Gutom ako kasi hindi ako kumain kaninang umaga.
- Definition
- I'm hungry because I didn't eat this morning.
§ Important Grammar Points
In Tagalog, adjectives like Gutom usually come before the pronoun or noun they describe, or they can be at the beginning of the sentence as we've seen. The word 'ay' can connect a noun/pronoun to an adjective if the noun/pronoun comes first, but it's often omitted in casual speech, especially when the adjective comes first.
No prepositions are directly needed when saying 'I am hungry' because 'ako' (I) acts as the subject. The structure is quite straightforward:
Adjective + Pronoun (e.g., Gutom ako)
Pronoun + 'ay' + Adjective (e.g., Ako ay gutom)

The beauty of 'Gutom' is its versatility. It's not just about a rumbling stomach; it can also describe a deeper, metaphorical hunger. We'll explore that too.
§ 'Gutom' in the Workplace
At work, 'Gutom' is pretty straightforward. It's usually about needing to eat. You'll hear it during lunch breaks, before meetings, or even when planning after-work meals.
- Common Usage
- When someone expresses a need for food, often informally.

- The context of the conversation or article will almost always clarify whether the hunger is literal or figurative.
- Listen for accompanying words like 'na ako' (I am already) for personal hunger, or phrases describing groups of people for widespread hunger.
By paying attention to these different uses, you'll not only understand 'Gutom' better but also start to sound more natural when you speak Tagalog. Keep practicing and listening!
§ Don't use 'Gutom' as a verb
Many English speakers learning Tagalog try to directly translate sentences. In English, you might say, 'I hunger for knowledge.' In Tagalog, you don't 'gutom' for something in the same way. 'Gutom' is an adjective, meaning 'hungry.' It describes a state of being, not an action. The most common way to say 'I am hungry' is 'Gutom ako.' (Hungry I.) You're stating a fact about yourself.
Gutom ako.
- DEFINITION
- I am hungry.
§ Using 'May gutom' incorrectly
Another common error is using 'may gutom' (have hungry) to express being hungry. While 'may' can mean 'to have,' it's not typically used with 'gutom' to mean 'I am hungry.' 'May gutom' would more literally translate to 'there is hunger' or 'has hunger,' which sounds a bit formal or impersonal when you're just trying to say you want food. Stick to 'Gutom ako' for personal hunger.
Gusto kong kumain dahil gutom ako.
- DEFINITION
- I want to eat because I am hungry.
§ Confusing 'gutom' with 'nagugutom'
You might also hear 'nagugutom ako.' This is also correct and means 'I am hungry.' The 'na-' prefix and '-ugutom' suffix indicate an ongoing state or a process of becoming hungry. So, 'nagugutom ako' emphasizes the feeling of hunger developing or continuing. Both 'Gutom ako' and 'Nagugutom ako' are perfectly fine to use, with 'Nagugutom ako' often feeling slightly more active or immediate in its implication of hunger.
Hindi ako makapag-isip, nagugutom ako!
- DEFINITION
- I can't think, I am hungry!
§ Pluralizing 'gutom' directly
In English, we say 'we are hungry' or 'they are hungry.' In Tagalog, 'gutom' doesn't change its form for plural subjects. Instead, you change the pronoun or the noun that refers to the people who are hungry.
- 'Kami ay gutom.' (We are hungry. - 'Kami' refers to the speaker and others, excluding the person being spoken to.)
- 'Tayo ay gutom.' (We are hungry. - 'Tayo' refers to the speaker and everyone present, including the person being spoken to.)
- 'Sila ay gutom.' (They are hungry.)
The word 'gutom' itself stays the same. Trying to add an 's' or some other plural marker to 'gutom' would be incorrect.
Kumain na tayo, gutom na ang mga bata.
- DEFINITION
- Let's eat, the children are hungry.
§ What 'Gutom' Means

You'll use this word a lot in everyday conversations, especially when you're talking about food, which is a big part of Filipino culture!
- DEFINITION
- Hungry
§ How to Use 'Gutom'

Gutom ka ba?
This means 'Are you hungry?' 'Ka' means 'you' and 'ba' is a question particle.

§ 'Gutom' vs. Other Words (When to Use It)
While gutom is the standard word for 'hungry', you might encounter other related terms. However, for a beginner, gutom is definitely the one you should focus on. There isn't really a direct synonym for 'hungry' that you'd use in the same way as gutom.
Sometimes, you might hear a phrase like 'nagugutom'. This is the verb form 'to be hungry' or 'getting hungry'.
Ako ay nagugutom.
This also means 'I am hungry' or 'I'm getting hungry'. While both gutom ako and ako ay nagugutom convey the same idea of being hungry, gutom ako is more of a direct statement about your current state, like 'I am hungry'. Nagugutom ako implies a process or a feeling coming on, like 'I'm starting to feel hungry' or 'I'm getting hungry'. For A1 level, stick to gutom as it's the most common and simplest way to express hunger.
There are no true direct alternatives for 'hungry' in Tagalog that a beginner needs to worry about. Stick with gutom, and you'll be understood clearly. It's the most practical word for this situation.
How Formal Is It?
"Nagugutom na po ako. (I am already hungry, [sir/ma'am].)"
"Gutom ako. (I am hungry.)"
"Gutom na gutom na ako! (I'm super hungry!)"
"Gutom-gutom si baby. (Baby is hungry-hungry.)"
"Naggugutom na 'ko. (I'm starving.)"
