How it's used

This idiom carries a slightly literary or sentimental weight, often used to describe a deep-seated attachment to a person, an object, or a past experience. While it can be used in casual conversation, it implies a level of emotional intensity that goes beyond simple memory. It is frequently applied to things that left a strong impression or a sense of longing.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a simple verb like 記得, but it specifically describes a persistent, lingering state of mind rather than just the act of recalling a fact. Avoid using it for mundane tasks like remembering to buy milk.
