Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'recordar' and 'acordarse'?
They both mean 'to remember' and are often used the same way. Think of 'recordar' as 'to recall' and 'acordarse (de)' as 'to remember'. 'Acordarse' is a bit more common in casual, everyday speech. The biggest grammar difference is that 'acordarse' needs a little word like 'me', 'te', or 'se' with it (e.g., '¿Te acuerdas?').
How do I say 'you remember' to someone I should be formal with, like a boss?
Instead of 'recuerdas', you would use the 'usted' form, which is 'recuerda'. For example, you would ask, '¿Usted recuerda la reunión?' (Do you remember the meeting?).
