sail (noun) – la vela
(Pronounced beh-lah)
To remember that sail is pronounced beh-lah (vela) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
The sail was just visible in the fog, so the captain rang a bell to announce (vela) the boats presence.
Vela is feminine so it's la vela. Imagine a lady painted on the sail of a boat.
