How it's used

Functions as a reminder or a command to keep information in mind, often carrying a sense of urgency or importance. It is frequently used to ensure someone does not forget a future obligation or a specific piece of advice. Unlike the more passive concept of recalling a memory, this term focuses on the active maintenance of information for a specific purpose.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 記得, which describes the state of having a memory. Use 記住 when you are telling someone to make an effort to retain information, whereas 記得 is used to state that you already have that information in your mind.
