How to say "to remember" in Chinese - 记住 "jizhu"

记住,我们明天早上五点半要走了。Remember, we have to leave at 5:30am tomorrow.
Jì zhù, wǒmen míngtiān zǎoshang wǔ diǎn bàn yào zǒule.

记住 jìzhù /to remember/

This word can be a little tricky to use because you'll also find 记 without 住 but it will still mean "to remember."  It's also common to see 记得 and 记了.  If you want to say you can't remember, you put the 不 in the middle, like this:
我记不住。 
Wǒ jì bù zhù.
Remember ; ) there are lots of ways to talk about remembering (and forgetting) in Chinese so don't get confused if you see it translated differently.
Translate 1 of these or write your own to get feedback on your writing:
  • Please remember to turn off the lights.
  • I can only remember her name.
  • I can't remember her email address.
  • You have to remember to go to that restaurant!
