Notas de uso
- Use ricordo for both the act of remembering and a souvenir; context decides. memoria is more abstract, and souvenir is common for tourist items.
- For 'I remember,' Italian usually uses ricordare: Mi ricordo / Ricordo. Mi ricordo takes di + infinitive: Mi ricordo di chiamarti.
- A common mistake is overusing memoria for personal keepsakes. For an object you keep from a trip or person, ricordo sounds more natural.
