Morning – le matin

(Pronounced ma-tan (but you hardly pronounce the 'n'))

To remember that Morning is pronounced ma-tan (matin) in French, use the following mnemonic:

In the morning my ma likes to get a tan (matin).

Matin is masculine, so it's le matin. Imagine our early learner having his breakfast in the morning.
