GENERAL INFO

Souviens is a conjugated form of the reflexive verb *se souvenir* (to remember). It means "I remember" (je me souviens), "you remember" (tu te souviens), or "remember!" (in the imperative, e.g., Souviens-toi).

USAGE

It's used when someone recalls something. For example: "Je me souviens de toi" (I remember you). "Te souviens-tu de son nom ?" (Do you remember his name?). "Souviens-toi de fermer la porte !" (Remember to close the door!).

TRAPS

It's a reflexive verb, so it always requires a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, etc.). Crucially, *se souvenir* is always followed by the preposition "de" when remembering a noun or pronoun: *se souvenir de quelque chose*.
