that you are hungry; you be hungry“Abbiate” is the present subjunctive form of avere, used mainly after expressions such as spero che (“I hope that”): Spero che voi abbiate fame means “I hope you are hungry.” The subject voi is often omitted in everyday Italian. Without a preceding subjunctive trigger, the phrase sounds incomplete or marked; “Voi avete fame?” means “Are you hungry?”
IT: Spero che voi abbiate fame, perché ho preparato una grande cena.
EN: I hope you’re hungry, because I made a big dinner.
