Explanation
记 means 'to remember/note' and 得 (neutral tone, de) attaches to it. 记得 means still holding something in memory. It can take a noun (记得他 = remember him) or a whole clause (记得关灯 = remember to turn off the light). Its opposite is 忘 / 忘记 (forget), and it differs from 想起 'to recall (bring to mind again)': 记得 is the state of already remembering, not the act of retrieving.
Examples
Note
得 is neutral tone (jìde). Opposite: 忘记. Differs from 想起 (recall).
