Is hunger a state of being, a possession or an emotion/feeling?

“I feel hungry (emotion)” “I am hungry (state)” “I have hunger (possession)”

Just a thought - other languages may distinguish it differently (e.g. Spanish’s “tengo hambre” (I have hunger)), technically English will express it in all those ways, but which is correct?
