xiaocai Posted March 11, 2013 at 12:09 PM Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 at 12:09 PM Any context? If not, I'm afraid there isn't much I can offer. Generally speaking 记忆 can only be a noun but 回忆 can be a noun or a verb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooironic Posted March 13, 2013 at 05:22 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 at 05:22 AM 記憶 can mean remember or recall, while 回憶 mean can only mean recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
