shade – la sombra

(Pronounced sohm-brah)

To remember that shade is pronounced sohm-brah (sombra) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

She moved into the shade to practise her gymnastics. As she did a somersault, her bra (sombre) flew off.

Sombra is feminine, so it's la sombra. Imagine a lady hiding in the shade.
