Your sentence has no verb. The best way for "I'm hungry" is "mo uan
ies" (I want to eat), or even "mo uan iesare" (I want food). You
could possibly put it as "mo iesxuan" (I eat-want/I hunger) which is
almost the same things but linking "eat" and "desire" into a single
unit which could be defined as "being hungry". The "-i" suffix only
qualifiers, which means there needs to be something to qualify, so you
might also say "mo iesxuani ren" (I am a hungry person), or just "mo
iesxuane" (I am an eat-wanter).

There is often more than one way to say something in Sasxsek, which
one would be a matter of emphasis and/or style.
