Size – la taille

(Pronounced tie-yuh)

To remember that Size is pronounced tie-yuh (taille) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The size of his tie was far too big for someone so young (taille).

Taille is feminine, so it's la taille. Imagine the Labrador buying a kennel that's the wrong size.
