We're not talking about punctuation...

I don't know if it has any real definition, because it is improper grammar.

The statement itself seems more like an interjection. But do interjections even have a category?

I don't think it is a verb, however, because of the way it is used. What are you implying is doing the loving? Or does it mean forget yourself? forget in some contexts can be a noun. It is one of the most versatile words.

I am in AP english

do you know what punctuation is?  things like commas and periods? you are correct, no one has mentioned it until you just did.

Breakdown of sentence structure:

(You) forget > you(rself)
subject  verb         predicate
nominative            accusative
giving action          recieving action

in cases such as these, "you" can be acceptably used instead of "yourself" since the redundancy with the original subject is cut off, similarly to most commands.

It's an idiom with absolutely no compositionality.

You can't really say the forget is an imperative verb because if it were imperative, it would have to be followed by yourself, not you.

(You) forget > you(rself)
subject  verb         predicate
nominative            accusative
giving action          recieving action

It likely came from "Damn you!" or "Curse you!", and they simply replaced the first word with forget to make it obscene.

So, I was right by saying that you was a understood subject pronoun? If so Whateva guy is a idiot.

awwh :c
Okay, I admit I'm wrong.  Thank you!

The least you could do is write my name correctly D:
But yes I am.

[Molasses]

But are all interjections verbs? As in saying, "Whoa." Would that mean (you) whoa? Or would that just mean, "Whoa."?

[Stocking]

If the idiom is merely a more obscene rendition of "Damn you!", which is understood as "(May god) damn you!" and is subjunctive and not imperative, then the composition of forget you! can easily be nonsensical.

You're correct, but if the idiom is merely a more obscene rendition of "Damn you!", which is understood as "(May god) damn you!" which is subjunctive and not imperative, then the composition of forget you! can easily be nonsensical.

I've put more thought into this, and I realized that most reflexive commands never replace yourself with you.  "You" is being used as the object of the sentence, the thing recieving the action, but if it is not being used reflexively (yourself), then it is similar to what you are saying, like (may someone) forget you.

That sounds like a good thing :D

So technically "forget you" is a well wishing?
