I told you to forget, but hoped you’d remember.- 기억하다 means ‘to remember’.
- -여 주다 is a grammar pattern where 주다 (to give) is used as an auxiliary verb to indicate that the action is done for someone else’s benefit.
- -길 is a contraction of -기를, where -기 is a nominalizer and 를 is the object marker. It is often used to express a wish or hope, as it implies an unspoken verb like 바라다 (to wish or hope).
