Does "I am thirsty to die" make sense?

Question

"I am hungry to die" doesn't mean that I am dying because of hunger, rather, "I want to die a lot."

How about "I am thirsty to die?" Does this mean "I am dying because of thirst?"

I want to know the real meaning of this expression.

I am thirsty to die.

The above sentence is more likely to mean "I desperately want to die". It may be considered similar to "I am hungry to die".

If you want to imply "I am dying because of thirst", you can say "I am dying of thirst".

I am hungry to die and I am thirsty to die both mean the same thing: one has a strong wish to die.

Kris · Answer

The secondary meanings of hunger and thirst are quite the same.
hunger: Have a strong desire or craving for
thirst: An insistent desire; a craving

Either phrase can be used in the idiomatic sense of a strong desire.
"I am thirsty to die" means the same thing as "I am hungry to die."

"I am thirsty" stands on its own. A literary or poetic form might be "I thirst to die" but "I am thirsty to die" just sounds awkward.
