1. (deponent) to remember, to recall (recollect)

   Synonyms: komma ihåg, erinra sig

   Minns du mig?

   Do you remember me?

   Jag minns inte vad som hände

   I don't remember what happened

   • 1991, Bobby Ljunggren, Håkan Almqvist, Eva Lindblad, “Sommaren i city [[The] summer in the 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?
