To Become Thirsty
To Be Thirsty, To Become Dry
intransitive verb, godan verb
When you have a thirst, you tend to become thirsty.
Note that this does not mean “to be thirsty” by itself, but only in combination with 喉, as in 喉が渇く.
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji. Go grab a cup of water so you don't become dehydrated, okay?
