معنی
To feel the need to drink water.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, it is common to go for 'cañas' (small beers) when one has thirst in the afternoon, making 'tengo sed' a social invitation. In Mexico, 'aguas frescas' (fruit waters) are the traditional way to quench thirst. If you say 'tengo sed', someone might offer you a 'jamaica' or 'horchata'. Hospitality is key; even a stranger might offer you a glass of water if you express that you have thirst in a rural area.
The 'Tener' Rule
Always remember: in Spanish, you HAVE thirst, hunger, cold, heat, and fear.
Gender Agreement
Don't say 'mucho sed'. It's always 'mucha sed' because 'sed' is a girl (feminine)!
