To Starve
To Be Starved For, To Have A Thirst For
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means starve and the verb vocab version is to starve.
This is a formal word and it's often used in phrases like 愛情に飢える (to be starved for love) or 知識に飢える (to have a thirst for knowledge).
When you're about to starve, what do you yearn for? Uni (う), of course! As your hunger intensifies, all you can think of is uni!
