zvezd
The term "zvezd" (звезд) is the genitive plural form of the Russian word "zvezda" (звезда), which translates to "star" in English.

For example, one might encounter phrases like "svet zvezd" (свет звезд), meaning "the light of stars." The plural form is essential for grammatical correctness when referring to more than one star in a possessive or descriptive capacity. In popular culture, the term can also appear in song titles, literary works, or brand names, often evoking imagery of the night sky, destiny, or the cosmos. Its usage is straightforward, directly reflecting the plural genitive case in Russian grammar.
