Language notes

  • English (star)Also means a celebrity or a lead performer.
  • Spanish (estrella)The ll sound varies by region — it can sound like “y”, “ly”, “j” or “sh”.
  • Korean (별)The initial ㅂ is unvoiced, so it sounds closer to “pyeol” than “byeol”.
  • Chinese (星星)The single character 星 (xīng) is also used, but the doubled 星星 is more common in speech.
