"Jag kommer inte ihåg."

Translation: I do not remember.

[Antonio_Sou]

It still hasn't been mentioned that håg means 'mind'. Knowing that, the phrase makes perfect sense.

[TimothyAspeslagh]

Thank you! Have a lingot

[Antonio_Sou]

Sweet, thanks :D

[Bearzerker]

So would "it dosent come to mind" be an acceptable answer?

[Arnauti]

That would be more like jag kommer inte på det in Swedish. (there are other possible translations too)

[vinnstrs]

Omg, thank you so much

[olaf78]

also have another lingot!

[Vithralas]

You're now rich in lingots, hahahahaha, and thank you for this tip, it really makes much more sense now :D

[RikSha]

What's the difference between 'komma ihåg' and 'minnas'? And how would you say 'to reminisce' eg. 'She likes to reminisce about her youth'?

[stephenbal4]

I had to do some translating with Google Translate, but I found this link på svenska: http://www.paengelska.com/komma_ihag_pa_engelska.htm

It seems to state that minnas is used for "recalling" a point in time. komma ihåg is the more general term, and must be used instead of minnas for something like "remembering to bring something with you".

[Yuki_Shiro]

... so from Phil Collins, his old song "Do yo remember" would be "kommer du ihåg?" ?

[Arnauti]

Yup!

[heathmar]

Would 'jag ihåg inte' work here?

[HelenCarlsson]

No, remember = komma ihåg.

I will remember = Jag kommer att komma ihåg (or Jag ska komma ihåg).

[person222222]

How would you say "I won't remember?" Jag kommer inte att komma ihåg?

[HelenCarlsson]

Yes :), or "Jag kommer inte att minnas".

[healthyhappyfree]

Is "I don't remember" acceptable? It was marked wrong.

[Yuki_Shiro]

sounds the same to me

[Arnauti]

Must have been some glitch, that's another accepted answer.

[Driper4]

'kommer ihåg' vs 'minnas'?

[devalanteriel]

There is often no difference. In some cases, minnas can be the reminiscing kind, and komma ihåg the recall kind.

[helmad]

Is ihåg at all related to 'high'? A way to say something similar in Dutch is 'er niet op komen -- not come onto it .. Well, it will work as a mnemonic for me regardless, but I'm curious:-)

[JohannDunn]

Someone further up pointed out that håg means mind, so ihåg kind of means 'to mind'. The meaning isn't a direct translation, but that helped me

[SthhitPragya]

what is the significance of putt kommer here...Cant we directly say...Jag ihag inte

[saucecode]

ihåg is an adverb, not a verb. So then Jag ihåg inte isn't a proper sentence since it doesn't have a verb. (According to the wiktionary page)
