⚠️ The trap
The similarity between 'sembrare' and 'remember' is accidental but confusing for beginners. They are completely unrelated. 'Sembrare' = to seem; 'to remember' = 'ricordare'.
To say "to recall; to keep in memory" in Italian:
ricordare (for to remember)
"sembrare" in English means:
to seem, to appear, to look like
Example
"Sembra stanco oggi."
"He seems tired today."
