Questions & Answers about Tenho muita sede.
Why does the sentence use tenho (I have) instead of a word for "I am"?
Why is it muita instead of muito?
Where is the word for "I" (eu) in this sentence?
Portuguese often drops subject pronouns like eu (I) because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The word tenho specifically means "I have", so adding eu is not necessary unless you want to add special emphasis.
