Our – notre

(Pronounced not-ruh)

To remember that our is pronounced not-ruh (notre) in French, use the following mnemonic:

Our dog was on the roof of Notre (notre) Dame with Quasimodo. 

NOTE:

Notre is the French translation used for a singular item. When there is more than one item the French word used for "our" is nos, pronounced "no" (i.e. do not sound the "s").
