覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
remindsは原形remindの三人称単数現在形で、-sを付けた形です。語末/d/の後なので-sは/z/と発音され、全体は/rɪˈmaɪndz/です。This song reminds me of summerのremind A of B「AにBを思い出させる」と、remind A about B「AにBを念押しする」を区別して覚えましょう。
Begin with the base verb remind and add -s for a third-person singular subject: he reminds, she reminds, or this song reminds. Because the base ends in the voiced sound /d/, the final -s is pronounced /z/, giving /rɪˈmaɪndz/. Learn two useful patterns. “This song reminds me of summer” means that the song brings summer back to mind. “He reminds her about the meeting” means that he helps her avoid forgetting it. The object after reminds is normally the person whose memory is affected.
例文
This song reminds me of summer.
この歌を聞くと夏を思い出します。
He reminds his sister about the meeting.
彼は妹に会議のことを思い出させます。
The smell reminds her of her old home.

reminds の語源・成り立ち Etymology
reminds は remind の三人称単数形で、re-「再び」+ mind「心・記憶」から成り、「もう一度心に入れる」が原感覚です。mind は古英語 mynd に由来し、だから「思い出させる」という意味になると納得できます。関連語に mindful、reminder があります。
Reminds is formed by adding the third-person singular ending -s to remind. Remind combines re-, conveying the idea of bringing something back, with mind, which is related to memory and thought. Mind comes from Old English gemynd, meaning memory, remembrance, or mind. The compound therefore developed the sense of bringing something back into a person’s awareness. Reminder and mindful belong to the same modern word family.
