remind

The French word 'rappeler' is a verb that corresponds to the English 'remind'. It is used to describe the act of causing someone to remember something, often by mentioning it or by presenting some reminder of it. 'Rappeler' can be used in various contexts, such as reminding someone of an appointment, a task they need to complete, or a fact they may have forgotten. It can be used both transitively, where it requires an object (e.g., 'Je dois lui rappeler notre rendez-vous' - 'I need to remind him of our appointment'), and reflexively, where it reflects back on the subject (e.g., 'Je me rappelle ce jour-là' - 'I remember that day').
