"결코 잊지 않아요."

Translation: I will never forget.

[silverandwhisky]

I'm confused where "will" fits in here. The sentence doesn't use -겠다 or -ㄹ 것이다 so it reads more like a present-tense sentence for me. "(implied subj) never forgets."

[zeairr]

The translation for 결코 just says "never". So why is the correct translation "Will never forget?" That's not even a sentence.

[MiKomprenasVin]

Perhaps they just intentionally left out the pronoun in English. They haven't done this elsewhere, so it's likely a mistake.

Or a trap

[eloritarinirel]

잊지마!

This translation is pretty ridiculous, and even "I never forget" isn't accepted.

[josueetcom]

"I never forget" works now

[JesusOnCross4U]

That translation should be accepted

[ANeFv]

잊지 마!

How does the future tense feature in this example?

Shouldn't the answer be
"I never forget"?

Sorry, I can't understand your question, if you could elaborate a bit more, I MIGHT be able to help:)

Hi Kookie: Thanks for offering to help me.

I think I understand now why 결코 잊지 않아요 is translated into the Eng. future tense, i.e. I will never forget.

I think this is the case when 해요체 is used to express certainty about a future event => Definite future.

Hope I am not wrong.

Since there is no subject, other subjects should also be accepted as correct: We, He, They.... 2020 July 28.

i don't really agree. '결코 잊지 않을게예요

[oee16]

Different types of future tense

(1) -(으)ᄅ 거에요 (Probable future)

결코 잊지 않을게예요 = I will (probably) never forget

The sentence indicates there is some room/a small chance for the situation to change.

(2) Definite Future -(어/아)요 (i.e. the casual, polite present simple tense)

Unlike the probable future, the 요 ending present tense can be used to convey a certain/assured future, when used along with a time reference.

결코 잊지 않아요
I will never forget
Time ref: "never".

Note:

Regardless, I do not forget =

I (absolutely) do not forget =

절대로 잊지 않아요.
