Wem geht es gut? Mir geht es gut. This is the dative case.
Ich fühle mich gut. Mich is the reflexive pronoun 1st person singular used in connection with fühlen, in this context, the infinitive is "sich fühlen".
"Mich" is also the accusative version of the personal pronoun (question word: wen?). This has nothing to do with your example using "sich fühlen".
"Mir" is never used with the accusative!
I can´t grasp why somebody thumbed down for Lila´s answer, as it´s pretty good and correct. The only trouble is that she said:
- "Mich" is also the accusative version of the personal pronoun (question word: wen?). This has nothing to do with your example using "sich fühlen".
She´s a bit right, but that MICH has something to do with SICH FÜHLEN, as MICH is similar to SICH (accusative, as a direct object) for the verb ZU FÜHLEN, the difference being only that it´s for THE FIRST PERSON IN SINGULAR, not for the third (SICH) instead.
So...
Komm, gib MIR deine Hand (Come, give ME [= to me = Dativ, as indirect object] your hand) - "gib" from "ZU GEBEN" = to give;
but...
Komm, triff MICH im Kino (Come, meet ME [= Akkusativ, as direct object] in the cinema/movies) - "triff" from "ZU TREFFEN" = to meet, to find (somebody yet known).
The difference between MICH and MIR then is that MICH is used as a complement for a direct transitive verb, while MIR is for an indirect transitive verb. - This you´ll need to learn by heart, as there are no regular rules indeed, as every verb may be different (direct or indirect transitive, this is, needs a complement), intransitive, etc. The forms "mir", "dir", "ihm"/"ihr", Ihnen, ihnen seem like always having a present or "hidden" preposition, while the forms "mich", "dich", "ihn"/"sie", "Sie", "sie" don´t have it; the forms "uns" und "euch" serve for both cases.
I thumb UP to Lina.
the two 'das' and 'dass' recommend 'that' in German, however the two have diverse grammatical purposes. 'Das' (which additionally purposes because of the fact the confident article of neuter nouns interior the nominative and accusative grammatical situations), while used to indicate 'that', purposes the two as a relative pronoun or a demonstrative pronoun. 'Dass', on the different hand, purposes as a conjunction. to that end, clareydairy's use of 'dass' is incorrect, because it rather is functioning as a relative pronoun. in this occasion, 'dass' could desire to be 'das', i.e.: 'Ich lese dieses Buch, das ich gestern gekauft habe'. by the way, use of the two 'das' as a relative pronoun or 'dass' continually sends the 1st verb, auxiliary or otherwise, to the tip of the clause (no longer inevitably, regardless of the undeniable fact that, the sentence). right here are examples of all 3 grammatical purposes of 'das' and 'dass' that I surely have reported: *'das' as a demonstrative pronoun 'Das ist mein vehicle' ('it is my vehicle') *'das' as a relative pronoun 'Frankreich ist ein Land, das ich liebe' ('France is a rustic that i like') *'dass' as a conjunction 'Sie sagte, dass sie mich liebe' ('She stated that she loves me') interior right here sentence I surely have used the be conscious 'das' thrice; as quickly as as a demonstrative pronoun, as quickly as as a diverse article (English: the), and as quickly as as a relative pronoun: 'Das ist das variety, das die Bonbons genommen hat'. ('it is the youngster that took the candies')
