Recuérdame VS recuérdate de mí

Question

Vs recuérda de mí. Remember me VS remind yourself of me (don't forget about me) ?

Having read the various answers and comments, I repeat yet again: just because natives say it, it doesn't mean it's correct. I have heard "recuérdate de mi" often enough in the street - and it's wrong each and every time. - Gekkosan, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 1

Hi, Jeezz!

Recuérdate de mí does not sound good.

Acuérdate de mí, or Recuérdame are the most common ways.

Different meaning? Yes, maybe

You say "acuérdate de mí" in the sense, eh! think about me in any moment. When you say "recuérdame" as ... Don't forget me, remember me forever.

when you 'say' :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 2

This summer I was taught the following by a native speaker:

No te olvides de mí.

Do any other native speakers agree with this? It went against what I had originally been taught, but I didn't want to disagree with a native!

How could a native disagree with so beautiful sentence? That is deep and wonderful. - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

And correct, not like the "recuérdate de mí" by Jeezz ! :) - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

Sorry, I got it from a song. - jeezzle, Nov 5, 2010

Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation. :) - mapletw, Nov 5, 2010

"No te olvides de mí", like Cogumela said, is a beautiful, deep sentence and totally right. - LuisaGomezBartle, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 3

Hola:

"Recuérdame" o "acuérdate de mí". "Recuérdate de mí" no se dice. "Don't forget about me" = "No me olvides"...

Answer 4

Okay, this fascinates me! Luisa & Cogumela, would you be able to give me a little more clarification? You have both said that "No te olvides de mí" is deep and beautiful/wonderful and now my curious mind wants to know why! Would you mind explaining? For example, what makes this phrasing deeper or more significant than "No me olvides" or "Recuérdame"?

These are the little nuances that I just love to learn about.

Thanks!

Very difficult question to answer, mapletw. It's only how it sounds. I - cogumela, Nov 7, 2010

Answer 5

Where are you hearing in this song "recuérdate de mí" ?

Recuérdate mujer, is what this rapper guy says. In any case, it sounds weird.

The song is curious, by the way

Neither do I, but it seems to me curious, that's all. :) - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

Not what I usually listen to, but I'm not gonna hate on it because I learned a couple of words anyway. This is more my style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azfdRPeMdD8 - jeezzle, Nov 5, 2010

a ver!! - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

seguro, Jeezz? esto no me gusta mucho - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

Vas en serio? Dame un cancion que te gusta y la echo un vistazo. - jeezzle, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 6

Jeezle,

I don't know if all natives feel the same about this, but my friend from Mexico says that "recordar" is used more like a temporary memory about less important everyday trivial things while "acordarse" is to remember something or someone (usually something with greater importance to you personally) for a longer period of time...

It would be interesting to see if anyone else here agrees.

Rena, I feel that is just on the contrary. - cogumela, Nov 5, 2010

Interesting...I wonder if I misunderstood, or it is just a personal difference. Thanks cogumela! - renaerules, Nov 5, 2010

Bah, Mexicans are always going against everyone else and saying weird things! (Just teasing - I tell the same thing to my Mexican friends!) - Gekkosan, Nov 5, 2010

Answer 7

[1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZtQ79KWXk0 It says, recuérdate mujer.Is it just wrong? Gracias.

gracias. ahora que escuché ´ eso´ espero poder olvidarlo. If not, please remember to remind me to forget. - mediterrunio, Nov 5, 2010

was it´ No importa que el sol se muera´? - mediterrunio, Nov 5, 2010

Yes it was. But apparently not everyone likes that song. Cough: . I love Moenia though. - jeezzle, Nov 5, 2010

it ´reminded me´ of this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL0jYWgVRy4 - mediterrunio, Nov 5, 2010

and of this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgcc5V9Hu3g&ob=av2n - mediterrunio, Nov 5, 2010

One last comment on Moenia´s song: It rang a bell so I started to think it over and tune the guitar a little ... it´s a plagium from U2´s ´Running to stand still´. Unvbelievable!!! - mediterrunio, Nov 5, 2010
