Tengo mucho hambre
When I write "Tengo mucho hambre" in the quiz it says I am wrong and I have to use "Tengo mucha hambre". Can you explain why? Thanks.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Muy vs Mucho in Spanish (intensifiers)"

Hi Mark
Hambre (hunger) takes the masculine singular articles "el" and "un" (el hambre- un hambre) but with some adjectives like mucho/mucha, hambre would take the feminine form (mucha hambre). It works the same way as the word "agua": (el agua caliente, but mucha agua caliente).
I understand this may be confusing so we will change that specific question.
I hope this clarified your doubt.
