Taxi – le taxi

(Pronounced tak-see)

To remember that Taxi is pronounced tak-see (taxi) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The taxi sped through and around the Eiffel Tower, causing crowds of people to run.

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.

Taxi is masculine, so it's le taxi. Imagine the early learner is pushing a broken-down taxi.
