Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 forgetful 拆成 forget（忘记）+ ful（充满），想象脑子里塞满了“忘记”，所以总是想不起来、记性差。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、一般写作、形容某人记性 forgetful 是较中性的常用词，多用于日常和一般书面表达，指人容易忘记事情。正式程度不高不低；若在正式或专业语境中，更侧重“记忆力差”或“遗漏”之意。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 forgetful 真正押韵的是 regretful /rɪˈɡrɛtfəl/（从重读元音开始的部分同为 /ɛtfəl/）。forgetful 的重音在 get；useful、thoughtful、grateful、helpful、careful 虽都以 -ful 结尾，但重读元音或后续辅音不同，不押韵，不要按拼写类推发音。
