Usage Note

Remarquer means to notice or observe something, and also to point something out to someone. The reflexive se faire remarquer ('to get oneself noticed') often carries a negative connotation — drawing unwanted attention. The noun une remarque ('a remark, a comment') is directly related and very common in formal and academic French.

Examples

"J'ai remarqué qu'elle était triste."

Natural Translation

I noticed that she was sad.
