Similarly, in Portuguese you can "have" or "be with" various nouns reflecting physical, mental, or emotional states which would be expressed with adjectives in English, like "I have hunger", "I have fear", "I'm with fear", "I'm with jealousy", "I'm with yearning for him".
I know German also uses "have" this way quite a lot (at least for hunger, thirst, fear, and desire, probably for many other things).
