coat – el abrigo

(Pronounced ah-bree-goh)

To remember that coat is pronounced ah-bree-goh (abrigo) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

You'll need a coat on a cold, breezy day like this, so go (abrigo) and find one.

Abrigo is masculine, so it's el abrigo. Imagine an elephant wearing a coat.
