What is the Latin translation of the English phrase 'a star'?

Answer 1

Stella is a Latin equivalent of the English phrase "a star."

Specifically, the Latin word is a feminine noun. It is not preceded by a definite or indefinite article since Latin has no equivalent to "the" or "a." But it may be preceded by una in the sense of "one": una stella ("one star").

The pronunciation will be "STEHL-lah" in both the classical Latin of the ancient Romans and the liturgical Latin of the Church.

Answer 2

Stella matutina is a Latin equivalent of the English phrase "morning star."

Specifically, the feminine noun stella means "star." The feminine adjective matutina means "matutinal, morning." The pronunciation will be "STEHL-lah MAH-too-TEE-nah" in the classical Latin of the ancient Romans and the liturgical Latin of the Church.
