In a sentence

お腹(なか)stomachが空(す)いたempty

I'm hungry

How it works

Literally this says “the stomach emptied.” が (subject) points out the subject (お腹(おなか) (stomach)), and the verb 空く(すく) (become empty) shifts to plain past 空いた(すいた) (emptied). Japanese describes hunger as a thing that happened to your stomach, not as “I am hungry.”
