Less – moins

(Pronounced mwah)

To remember that Less is pronounced mwah (moins) in French, use the following mnemonic:

He was paid less for his memoir (moins) than he had hoped.

NOTE:

Probably, the main use of "moins" is as an adjective, in which case it always has "de" after it, eg; Moins de viande (Meaning "less of meat").
