I hungry and thirsty now
That is completely normal in Hebrew.

not literally with a spoken word for am, but that is how it works grammatically.
Because they agree with the speaker.
Hebrew adjectives change form depending on gender and number. In this sentence, the speaker is female, so the adjectives are feminine singular:
- רעבה = feminine singular
- צמאה = feminine singular
That tells you the speaker is a woman or girl.
This kind of agreement is very common in Hebrew. If the subject changes, the adjective usually changes too.
