Signification
Reminding someone of a piece of information.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is often used by elders to deliver 'nasihat' (moral advice). It is considered a sign of caring. In meetings, 'Bunu not edelim' (Let's note this) is a more professional alternative to 'Bunu unutmayın'. In Turkish soap operas (diziler), this phrase is often used right before a character leaves the scene to create suspense. Mothers often use this phrase repeatedly (nagging) to ensure children don't forget their belongings.
Add 'Sakın' for impact
If you want to sound like a wise Turkish elder, add 'sakın' before 'unutma'.
Watch the register
Never say 'Bunu unutma' to your Turkish father-in-law unless you want a long lecture on respect!
