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)

  1. 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?
  2. 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.
