Hi, I need a translation for the following sentence " Never forget how special you truly are"
It's for a girl so I don't know whether the translation would be gender specific, but thank you in advance to anyone that can help!
Cheers

"Nigdy nie zapomnę, że jesteś prawdziwie wyjątkowa/nadzwyczajna."

Nigdy nie zapomnij jak bardzo jesteś wyjątkowa.
You are right-it's gender specific.For a man it would be:
Nigdy nie zapomnij jak bardzo jesteś wyjątkowy.

Is an option: "Nigdy nie zapominam" wrong? I am just curious.

It means that YOU never forget how special she is.The meaning is different and even if you want to say that you never forget you should say:
Nigdy nie zapomniałem-I have never forgotten(I never forgot?)
Nigdy nie zapomnę-I will never forget.

The sentence should be directed to the person, so not "I" will never forget..no I, but its directed to her so she can never forget how special she is, so "Never forget how special you are"

So go with my first response:
Nigdy nie zapomnij jak bardzo jesteś wyjątkowa.

Is the interpretation in this grammatical option possible?
"(I) Never forget how special you truly are".

Is the grammatical option correct?"(I) Never forget how special you truly are".

"Never forget" is imperative mood (tryb rozkazujący) so it's 2nd person by default.
If you want to make it 1st person, you have to add "I".
Every indicative sentence needs a personal pronoun. If there's no pronoun, then it's imperative, meaning: directed towards the 2nd person.

noreenb:
"Nigdy nie zapominam"

Means exactly "I never forget". This refers to the person who is saying it.

Lenka:
Nigdy nie zapomnij

Means exactly "Never forget!" This is the imperative of the 2nd person singular. So it has nothing to do with the person who says it.

This is an important difference, because the meaning is completely different.

" Never forget how special you truly are"

In Polish this sentence could be translated into 2 ways ( man to woman in both versions). It's the same in English, except in English we need to just add I in one of the versions without any other changes and in Polish we need to change the verb "nie zapomnij" into "nie zapomnę"

1) Nigdy nie zapomnij jak wyjątkowa naprawdę jesteś.
(ty) nigdy - (you) never
nie zapomnij - forget
jak wyjątkowa - how special
naprawdę jesteś - you truly are

2) Nigdy nie zapomnę jak wyjątkowa naprawdę jesteś.
(ja) nigdy - (I) never
nie zapomnę - forget
jak wyjątkowa - how special
naprawdę jesteś - you truly are
