Thread: поминать vs вспоминать

Поминки is a ritual action. Поминать/помянуть = to perform the ritual of поминки. (Other meanings are archaic.)
вспоминать / вспомнить = to recall to memory
помнить = to keep in memory
запомнить = to memorize

(word "remember" has too many meanings)

Hello,
Just want to get it clear in my head:

вспоминать / вспомнить = to recall to memory

Should it be "to recall from memory"?

Thank you,

Scott
