Date: 2022-09-30 01:08 am (UTC)Huh! This is my first time realizing that the 住 in 记住 is not the progressive-aspect suffix 住 that Cantonese uses in place of Mandarin 着 for ongoing/continuous verbs (as in 听住, 向住). I didn't know you could say 记住 in Mandarin! I assume this usage of 住 is "a suffix indicating firmness"?
In context I'm having some trouble seeing how that's different from progressive aspect. >_> Does anybody have any other examples of 住 as a verb suffix in Mandarin? Like, does it work with verbs other than 记?
