Learners may confuse this sense with simply "remember." "Cherish" is not just to remember; it means to remember something with warm, positive feeling and to value that memory, idea, or hope. Also, avoid saying *"cherish about"*; use a direct object: "cherish the memory," not *"cherish about the memory."*
