This is a reason why you can't translate literally, word by word, from your language to another one.
Let's see some examples:
- In English you say: "I am hungry", "I am cold", "I am 14".
In French you say: "J'ai faim", "j'ai froid" et "j'ai 14 ans" (literally "I have hunger", "I have cold" and "I have 14 years"; and you actually don't say that in English).
- In English you say "I miss you".
In French you say "Tu me manques" (literally "You are missing to me").
- In English you say "I am bored".
In French you say "Je m'ennuie". (If you translate literally from English, "je suis ennuyé(e)" actually means "I am embarassed".)
