“Cela me fait penser à”

“That makes me think of”

What expressions can we  use  when we want to add our  voice  to a discussion? It's a question which was put to us in recent  days.

One useful expression is Cela me fait penser à (= That makes me think of). So, for example, we might say:

• Cela me fait penser à ce que Paul a dit hier.
  = That makes me think of  what Paul said yesterday.
• Cela me fait penser à un documentaire que j'ai vu hier soir à la télé.
  = That makes me think of  a documentary I saw on TV last night.

Another useful expression in this context is Cela me rappelle… (= That reminds me of…). Let's consider two possibilities:

• Cela me rappelle un article que je viens de lire ce matin.
  = That reminds me of  an article I just read this moing.

… and a variation:

• Ce que tu dis me rappelle une chanson de Bruce Springsteen.
  = What you are saying (now) reminds me of  a Bruce Springsteen song.

That makes  me think of   :  این موضوع منو به این فکر میندازه که..... / این.... (جا،عکس،خانه،...)منو به فکرِ(خاطرهِ).... میندازه
