Special meanings to "TENER"
The verb "TENER" is used in several phrases that do not translate directly into Engilsh. These are related to physical needs that a person may have. In English we say, "I am hungry, I am thirsty, I am cold, I am tired, I am afraid, I am right." In Spanish, however, each of these sentences is made with the verb TENER. Notice that this means that each of the phrases is spoken with nouns in Spanish, "I have hunger, I have thirst, etc.).
