Questions & Answers about मुझे यह बालकनी पसंद आई।
Why is मुझे used here instead of मैं?
Because Hindi often uses a dative experiencer pattern for feelings, preferences, and sensations.
With पसंद आना, Hindi does not structure the sentence like I liked X. It structures it more like:
To me, X was pleasing.
So:
- मैं = I as a subject
- मुझे = to me / me
That is why मुझे is the natural form here.
A similar pattern appears in:
- मुझे भूख लगी है। = I am hungry
- मुझे ठंड लग रही है। = I am feeling cold
- मुझे यह किताब पसंद है। = I like this book
Why is there no ने in this past-tense sentence?
Because this is not a मैंने ... type sentence.
The verb here is part of the expression पसंद आना, and the thing liked is treated as the grammatical subject. In this sentence, बालकनी is what the verb agrees with, not मैं.
So Hindi is not saying:
- I did liking to the balcony
It is saying something more like:
- This balcony appealed to me
That is why you get:
- मुझे, not मैंने
- agreement with बालकनी
- no ने
