Difference between: dir and dich; mir and mich; deine and deines???
Hi. I still get very confused easily by mir vs mich, dir vs dich etc. My friend explained that it's to do with something nominative, accusative, dative and genetiv (which i don't really know what these terminologies mean in English, even i speak fluent English).
1. Can anyone try to explain some rules, by which i will be able to use them correctly? Maybe some extra examples to illustrate?
i.e mir helfen (why not "mich helfen"?, isn't "me" the direct object of the action "helping"?)
i.e Mir geht es gut. Why mir?
2. Are there any English equivalents for these cases? My friend said I can not always find analogies from English for German grammar.
But is it like "nominative=subject of sentence" "accusative=direct object" "dative=indirect object" and what is genitive for?
Thank you very much!!
