"Eu não consigo esquecê-la."

Translation: I cannot forget her.

[nmenez]

why is "esquecê" not in infinitive form?

[erudis]

The verb loses its ending when you merge it with the pronoun.

• Esquecer ele = esquecê-lo
• Esquecer ela = esquecê-la

Thanks!

"Eu não posso esquece-la" means "I cannot forget her".
So, "consigo" should give a sense of "managing to / being able to forget her" So, I think, "I just cannot forget her" is a better translation.

If I use "posso" instead of "consigo", how would that change the connotation of this sentence?

[erudis]

It could give the meaning of "I shouldn't forget her".
