Ski – le ski

(Pronounced skee)

To remember that Ski is pronounced skee (ski) in French, use the following mnemonic:

He tried to ski down the side of the Eiffel Tower.

NOTE: The Eiffel Tower is a French icon and whenever you see it in one of our images, it means that the word is basically the same in both English and French.

Ski, when used as a noun, is masculine, so it's le ski. Imagine the early learner hanging onto a ski lift.
