Actually the previous mnemonic is better...ennui sounds like YEH NAHEEEE!!!!
ennui...when pronounced sounds quite similar to ANNOYed....now think of a person who is always annoyed with everything......such a person could be very BORING and irritating for you.
ennui=en(anything)+nui(new) which can be said as 'anything new?? I am filled with "boredom" with the same old stuff'
its sounds/written like "nini aayi" which means feeling sleeping in Hindi. You feel sleepy when u r bored.
"Whee" is for when you are excited. Ennui (pronounced on-whee) is when you are bored.
