No, Vireak! "Amn't" is not a word in standard English. You should just say "I'm not hungry". 😊

Great question, Nita! They mean exactly the same thing. Both are perfect for speaking, so you can use whichever one feels easier for you to say! 👍

Because "to be" is a special verb! Most verbs need "don't" or "doesn't" (like "I don't eat"), but "to be" is strong enough to just add "not" by itself. That's why we say "I am not a doctor". 👨⚕️
Can I say "amn't"? Like "I amn't hungry"?
