hacer memoria

Question

I was reading this forum when I stumbled upon this phrase: Hacer memoria

Tuve que hacer memoria para recordar donde lo dejé.

Can you please help me figure out the best translation in English for this phrase? thanks!

Answer 1

But how does the "para recordar" would mean then in that sentence?

para recordar means in order to remember. The whole sentence would be translated something like "I had to try to remember where I left it."

Thank you so much :D - yuriandre, May 23, 2010
