ster Explanation: Hello, 'ster' is the most general translation of star. In certain cases it can be translated by 'de zon' if specifically the sun is ment by it. A star can also be any bright light in the sky (longman dict of contemporary English) and is then translated as 'planeet' (planet in English) or 'hemellichaam' which means literally 'body in the sky' in English. Hope this helps you Longman dict of contemporary English |
