      thanks! it makes much more sense now. I was wondering why it needed two words for thirsty.

        That's what I thought. I hate how they use examples that imply the action.

          Not to be confused with 모기는 목이 말라요. The mosquito is thirsty

            I tried looking up dry and found the verb to dry: 말리다. Would this conjugate to: 말려다?

              I think so, but here 말라요 comes from the verb 마르다

                  Google Translate says that "저는 목이 말라요." means "I am not thirsty."

                    Google translate isn't reliable. You should probably check a website with someone that knows Korean.

                    Google Translate's Korean is really bad. I would never trust it.

                    Google Translate's translation is really bad. It doesn't matter what the source and target languages are, it's just really bad.

                    Google Translate's Spanish is not too terrible. It definitely makes some errors, but it's not awful. Compared to Korean at least, it's much better.

                          저는 목말라요 is also right.
