Learn Icelandic: Ég er ruglaður. Var götunafnið hér? Mig minnir það. - I am confused. Was the street name here? I seem to remember that.

This is what we call a quirky subject. When minna is used to mean seem to remember or recall, the person doing the remembering is put in the accusative case. So, ég becomes mig.

How is mig minnir different from just saying ég man?

Að muna (ég man) means you definitely remember something. Að minna (mig minnir) expresses a bit of uncertainty, like saying I recall or I seem to remember. It fits perfectly here since the speaker is confused!

What case is the object það in here?

It is in the accusative case. This specific use of minna actually takes two accusatives: one for the person remembering (mig) and one for the thing being remembered (það).

If a woman was saying this sentence, would ruglaður change?

Yes, it would. Ruglaður is the masculine singular form. A female speaker would use the feminine form rugluð, saying Ég er rugluð.
