Use of "si acuerdo de"
I'm working through a recorded Spanish course for the second time and still don't understand this question, which is used several times: "¿Si acuerdo de como se dice, '[the phrase to be spoken]'?" What does "si acuerdo de" mean in this context?

Hi,
Welcome to the forums! We'll need a little more context perhaps, since the phrase could mean a few different things. Is this question written, or just spoken? The phrase may be missing a pronoun, but then again, it could just be colloquial usage of the pronominal verb.

Could there be an understood "usted" in it, so that the phrase could mean "If you remember how one says...."? Or can "si" be used as an intensive (if that's what it called), so that the phrase could be a question, like "Do you remember how one says...?"? |

I think "if you agree (in/on)..." is what's being said.
