recordar, verb:
to remember; to remind
Recordar is interesting because it covers two related English meanings: to remember and to remind. Remember that the -or- changes to -uer- in some cases.
No recuerdo dónde lo puse
I can’t remember where I put it
Conviene recordar que las previsiones iniciales eran menores
It’s worth remembering that the initial forecasts were lower
In the other meaning, to remind, it can be used when people resemble one another
Me recuerdas mucho a tu padre
You remind me a lot of your father
And it can be used to remind someone to do something, with que and the subjunctive
Recuérdame que se lo diga a Daniel
Remind me to tell Daniel about it
