feeling the need to drink
Wanting to drink because your mouth is dry or you have not had enough water.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[someone] is/feels/gets thirsty
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes say *"I have thirsty"* instead of *"I am thirsty"*. In English, "thirsty" is an adjective, so it goes with the verb "be" (am/is/are), not with "have".
সমার্থক শব্দ
parched (Stronger and more dramatic than "thirsty"; often used after being in great heat or dryness.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
hydrated (Describes someone who has drunk enough liquid and is not thirsty.)

strongly wanting something non-physical
Wanting something very much, like success, power, or knowledge, not food or drink.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[someone] is thirsty for [something]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners may overuse this figurative sense with any noun. It is common with abstract nouns like "knowledge", "power", "success", or "justice", but it sounds unnatural with many everyday things. Do not say *"thirsty for a new phone"*; instead say *"really want a new phone"*.
সমার্থক শব্দ
eager (Shows strong positive desire, usually without the slightly intense or dramatic tone that "thirsty" can have.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
indifferent (Describes someone who does not care or does not strongly want the thing in question.)

Learners sometimes use this slang in formal situations, like job interviews or academic writing, where it sounds very inappropriate. It is mainly used in spoken casual English and on social media, and often has a sexual or slightly rude tone.
