ぺこぺこ － Peko peko － To be very, very hungry.
お腹ぺこぺこよ！ － Onaka peko peko yo! － I'm starving.
お腹はぺこぺこです。－ Onaka wa peko peko desu. － I am hungry.
お腹がぺこぺこです。 － Ohara ga peko peko desu. － I'm Starved.
腹 ＝ Abdomen, Belly, Stomach
ON Reading: Fuku
KUN Reading: Hara.
I suppose onaka could be お中、but お腹 is used because rather than middle it has to do with one's stomach. In effect naka is a special reading for 腹 in this one instance.
