Noubliez

Noubliez is best understood as a stylized or incorrect form related to the French imperative n’oubliez, which comes from the verb oublier and means “do not forget” in the second-person plural or formal address. In standard French, the common construction to tell someone not to forget something is “N’oubliez pas …” (for example, N’oubliez pas votre rendez-vous — Don’t forget your appointment). The elided form n’oubliez places the apostrophe after the ne before the following vowel, producing “n’oubliez” in proper orthography.

The sequence noubliez without the apostrophe is generally considered nonstandard or a typographical error in formal writing. However, such a spelling may appear in informal contexts, on signage, or as a deliberate branding or stylistic choice where strict orthography is relaxed or where a visual impulse is sought. In linguistic terms, the use of noubliez as a standalone word contrasts with the regulated forms n’oubliez and n’oublions, which cover other moods and persons of the verb oublier.

Culturally, the phrase and its variants circulate widely in French-language contexts, especially in reminders, advertisements, and daily communication. When encountered in media or text, noubliez should be read as related to the imperative to remember something, with awareness that the correct form in standard writing is n’oubliez (pas).
