뜻
To feel the need to drink water.
문화적 배경
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)!
