New Year's Eve – la saint-sylvestre

(Pronounced saint-sil-vest)

To remember that New Year's Eve is pronounced saint-sin-vest (Saint Sylvester) in French, use the following mnemonic:

At the new year's eve party, Saint Sylvester (Saint-Sylvestre) finally caught Tweetie Pie.

NOTE:

Saint-Sylvestre is the most commonly used translation of New Year's Eve but the literal French translation would be veille du novel an, (eve of new year).
