* 먹고 싶다. (meok-go sipda) - This is another informal way to say it, and it's a bit more direct than "meok-go sipeo."
With Specific Food:
You can also say "I want to eat [specific food]". For example:
* 저는 밥을 먹고 싶어요. (jeo-neun bap-eul meok-go sipeo-yo) - I want to eat rice.
* 김치찌개를 먹고 싶어. (gimchi jjigae-reul meok-go sipeo) - I want to eat kimchi stew.
Additional Notes:
* -요 (-yo) at the end of the sentences adds politeness. You can drop it in informal contexts.
* -고 싶다 (-go sipda) expresses a desire or want.
* -을 (-eul) is a particle that connects the verb "먹다" (to eat) to the object.
You can use these phrases in various situations. For example, you can use them to express your hunger, to ask someone to eat with you, or to order food at a restaurant.
