Question

Does the word "starve" have the same meaning as "die from hunger"?
Which one of these sentences are correct and natural?

I’d rather die from hunger than eat airplane food.
I’d rather starve than eat airplane food.

Answer

If you are hungry for a very long time then we can say that you are starving.
For example.
When you say "mom please give me some food I am hungry" , here you say hungry because you have not ate for few hours may be.
But when a begger says " sir please give me some food I am starving" , here he uses starv because he has not ate from few days.

Answer

according to the dictionary, to starve means to "suffer severely or die from hunger"

So one could starve but not die.  I was not aware of this.  I would have thought both sentences had the same meaning.

Answer

Hi
Both are correct.
The Second one is more common!
There is an exaggeration involved which makes it funny...

Answer

Thank you

Answer

Both sentences are negative and can be interpreted as being rude depending on the context.  First sentence  is very extreme, meaning you really hate airplane food.
The second just mean you do no like airplane food.
