Swedish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From komma (“come”) + i (“in”) + håg (“mind”). Compare English come to mind.
Verb
[edit]komma ihåg (present kommer ihåg, preterite kom ihåg, supine kommit ihåg, imperative kom ihåg)
- to remember, to recall (recollect)
- Synonym: minnas
- Kommer du ihåg mig?
- Do you remember me?
- Jag kommer inte ihåg vad som hände
- I don't remember what happened
- 1991, Bobby Ljunggren, Håkan Almqvist, Eva Lindblad (lyrics and music), “Sommaren i city”[1]performed by Angel:
- Sommaren i city 1990 – kommer du ihåg mig? Minns du vad som hände? Minns du vad du sa när du träffade mig? Kommer du ihåg mig – 1990, sommaren i city? Minns du var vi var? Och minns du vad vi sa?
- [The] summer in the city ["sommar i city" would literally be "summer in the city," but "the summer in the city" sounds a bit unidiomatic], 1990 ["in 1990" – Swedish skips the "in"] – do you remember me? Do you remember what happened? Do you remember what you said when you met me? Do you remember me – 1990, [the] summer in the city? Do you remember where we were? And do you remember what we said?
- to remember (keep in mind, not forget)
- Kom ihåg att släcka lyset
- Remember to turn off the light
Usage notes
[edit]Minnas sounds off in (sense 2), in the same way that "recollect to turn off the light" does.
