Say (verb) – decir
Note: As in 'to say'.
(Pronounced deh-theer)
To remember that say is pronounced deh-theer (decir) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
Don't say – there has been a death here (decir).
Another mnemonic to remember this would be:
'I say, have you been looking for me'? The death theory (decir) was ruled out by the police – the missing person appeared to be alive and well.
