City – la ville

To remember that City is pronounced veel (ville) in French, use the following mnemonic:

You could see the whole city from the veal's (ville) point of view on top of the skyscraper.

You could see the whole city from the veal's (ville) crate on top of the sky scraper.

Ville is feminine, so it's la ville. Imagine the Labrador is lost in the city.
