material – el material

(Pronounced mah-teh-ryahl)

To remember that material is pronounced mah-teh-ryahl (material) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

Different materials had been used to make different Spanish bulls.

Note: The bull is a Spanish icon, and whenever you see it on our images, it means that the word sounds similar in both English and Spanish.

Material is masculine, so it's el material. Imagine an elephant also made of different materials.
