Quick update: I’ll be out of the office all throughout August! I’m a team of 1, so if you leave a comment or send me an email, I’ll get back to you in early September.
You know that feeling when you can’t remember a word or a detail or even the order of events that happened?
There are many ways to say that you can’t remember it well, but one of my favorites is “mi ricordo lontanamente - I remember it distantly.”
I love it because it sounds so poetic.
If you experience a moment like that, here are a handful of phrases that you can use to express that feeling:
Mi ricordo lontanamente. - I vaguely remember it.
Mi ricordo male. - I don’t remember it well.
Non mi viene in mente. - It’s not coming to mind.
Ce l’ho sulla punta della lingua. - It’s on the tip of my tongue.
Non riesco a collegare la faccia al nome. - I’m not succeeding at connecting the face to the name.
Buono studio!
Un abbraccio,
Cher
