"Me Recuerda" Translation

Recordar can mean both "remind" and "remember" according to the translators. So how would you distinguish between "Remind me" (as in "Me recuerda lo detener mañana") and "Remember me" (as in "¿Me recuerda desde escuela?").

Acordarse vs. Recordar

Acordarse de algo. To remember something. It is a pronominal verb, which is one that is conjugated with a pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, les).

Me acuerdo de Mario. I remember Mario.

Acuérdame de ir a la farmacia. Remind me to go to the drugstore.

Recordar algo. To remember something. It's transitive (a verb which requires a complement and not a pronoun).

Recuerdo a Mario. I remember Mario.

Recuérdame ir a la farmacia. Remind me to go to the drugstore.

I hope this helps!
