意思
To be extremely hungry
文化背景
The 'oběd' (lunch) is the most important meal. If you miss it, saying 'mám hlad jako vlk' is a socially accepted way to explain your grumpiness. Slovak uses the exact same idiom: 'Mám hlad ako vlk'. The cultural context of mountain hiking and hearty meals is identical. In many Slavic cultures, the wolf is a symbol of both fear and respect. Using it in an idiom shows a connection to the wild nature of the region. Even in cities like Prague, where people eat international food, this idiom remains the standard way to express extreme hunger.
Use it to be polite
If someone offers you a second helping of food, saying 'Mám hlad jako vlk' is a great compliment to the cook.
Don't say 'Jsem hladový'
While grammatically correct, it sounds very textbook. 'Mám hlad' is much more natural.
