monemus

ad-mŏnĕo, ui, ĭtum, 2, v. a., to bring up to one's mind, to put one in mind of ( in a friendly manner), to remind, suggest, advise, warn, admonish (by influencing more directly the reason and judgment; while in adhortor the admonition is addressed immediately to the will, Doed. Syn. 1, 164: “Moneo, et admoneo hoc differunt, quod monemus futura, admonemus praeterita; illa ut caveamus et discamus, haec ut recordemur,” Aus. Popma, p. 29; cf. Ellendt ad Cic. Brut. 3, 11: “in monente benevolentia, in admonente memoria,” Ernest. no. 1663).

In gen., constr. absol. and with aliquem alicujus rei or de aliqua re, aliquam rem (Sallust employs them all); with ut or ne. when an action follows; with acc. and inf. or a rel. clause, when merely an historical [p. 42] fact is brought to view, Zumpt, § 439 and 615.
