Questions & Answers about Kan du minne meg om møtet i morgen?

Why does minne require om in this sentence?

In Norwegian, å minne (noen) om noe is the fixed pattern for to remind someone of/about something. The preposition om introduces the content you are reminding about. You cannot say minne meg møtet – you must say minne meg om møtet.

What is the role of meg in minne meg om?

Meg is the object pronoun meaning me. The verb minne takes two objects:
1) the person being reminded (meg)
2) the content of the reminder (introduced by om)
So minne meg om … = remind me about …

Why is it møtet instead of et møte?

Møtet is the definite form of møte, literally the meeting. We use the definite form when we refer to a specific meeting both speaker and listener know about. Et møte would be a meeting, less precise here.

Why is i morgen placed after møtet?

The phrase møtet i morgen is one noun phrase—the meeting tomorrow. Time modifiers like i morgen can follow the noun in Norwegian. You could also front i morgen for emphasis (I morgen, kan du…), but then you must still respect the V2 word‐order rule.

Can I use på instead of om—as in minne meg på møtet i morgen?

The standard, normative pattern is minne (noen) om noe. While you might hear minne meg på in casual speech or some dialects, the textbook form is minne meg om.

What is the difference between minne meg om and huske meg på?

Both can translate as “remind me,” but:

• minne meg om is the formal, textbook pattern with om.
• huske meg på (“make me remember”) is common in spoken Norwegian or dialects.
  Example: Kan du huske meg på møtet?

How would I say “Can you remind him about the meeting tomorrow?” in Norwegian?

Replace meg with ham (him):
Kan du minne ham om møtet i morgen?

Use om at when the content is a full clause, not just a noun.

• Clause complement:
  Kan du minne meg om at jeg må være der klokka ni?
• Noun complement:
  Kan du minne meg om møtet i morgen? (no at)
