Ton (weight) – la tonelada

(Pronounced toh-nay-lah-dah)

To remember that ton is pronounced toh-nay-lah-dah (tonelada) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

I dropped a ton of bricks on my toenail, and Dad (tonelada) just laughed.

Tonelada is feminine, so it's la tonelada. Imagine a lady lifting a ton.
