Reaminti

Reaminti is a Romanian verb meaning to remind someone of something. It is formed with the prefix re- added to aminti, the verb meaning to remember. The core function of reaminti is to prompt another person to recall information, obligations, or upcoming events. In typical usage, the verb governs a recipient and, to specify what is being recalled, often appears with a de-phrase or with the cuiva de ceva construction: reaminti cuiva de ceva. For example, one might say: “Îi reamintesc lui Andrei de întâlnirea de mâine” (I remind Andrei of tomorrow’s meeting) or “Trebuie să-ți reamintesc să-ți iei medicamentul” (I must remind you to take your medication).

Conjugation and formality: reaminti follows Romanian patterns for verbs formed with the prefix re-, generally aligning with standard conjugation classes. It can be used in present, past, and future tenses, as well as in subjunctive and conditional moods, with pronouns and prepositional phrases adjusting to indicate the recipient and the recalled item.

Etymology and related forms: reaminti derives from aminti (to remember) with the prefix re-, signaling repetition or prompting. It shares its etymological lineage with other Romanian verbs built from aminti, all tracing back to Latin meminisse or related memory-root forms found in Romance languages.
