7. How can we remember that "está triste" means "s/he is sad"?  Do you have an association?*

*I remember "triste" means "sad" because "triste" sounds like "tree stay" and if you tell a tree to say, he will be sad.

Do you have a better association? Does "está triste" look like anything or sound like anything that helps you remember what it means?
