Usage Note
Mencionar is a regular -ar verb. It is slightly more formal than decir when flagging a topic in passing — learners can use mencionar where English uses 'bring up' or 'note that'. The reflexive mencionarse is rare; prefer the active construction.
Examples
"Quiero mencionar un detalle importante."
