Q:

Difference between 'I'm hungry' and 'I'm getting hungry'

Are they the same? Please give me an explanation! Thanks so much!

A:

They are not exactly the same, although they are quite close.
I am hungry would mean that you are currently in a state of hunger. You are hungry now.
I'm getting hungry would mean that you are starting to get feelings of hunger. You will be hungry soon. It would be a less severe way of expressing hunger than the first example.
