Hi. I was listening to some music earlier this evening. " Make me wanna die " from "The pretty reckless" is pretty cool. The lead vocal, Taylor Momsen, is actually an actress who plays the role of Jenny on The Gossip Girl. How talented is she! :) This is a five star hotel. 이 호텔은 별 다섯개 짜리 호텔이에요. 이, yi, this 호텔은, hoteleun, hotel + suffix 별, byol, star 다섯, dasot, five 개짜리, gaejjari, count word + as many 호텔이에요, hotelyiaeyo, is such a hotel 이 호텔은 별 다섯 개짜리 호텔이에요. yi hoteleun byol dasot gaejjari hotelyiaeyo. -짜리 is used when you want to express the quantity or quality of something.

Hi guys. Hope your weekend is going well. Earlier this evening, I went to my friend's rock band gig. It was a weekend-hobby kind of band but their performance was great.
