Questions & Answers about Разумеется, я не знаю, нравится ли тебе наш новый сад.

What does Разумеется mean and how is it used here?

Разумеется means “of course” or “naturally.” Here it’s an introductory adverbial phrase expressing that the speaker considers what follows to be self-evident.

Why is there a comma after Разумеется?

Because Разумеется functions as a parenthetical introductory word. In Russian, such words and phrases are set off by commas.

What is the function of the particle ли in нравится ли тебе?

ли turns the clause into an indirect (yes/no) question. It’s how Russian marks a subordinate question without using question intonation at the main-clause level.

Why is ли placed after нравится and before тебе?

In Russian indirect questions, ли typically follows the verb and precedes the subject or object. So you get нравится ли тебе rather than ли нравится тебе.

Why is тебе in the dative case?

The verb нравиться takes the experiencer (the person who likes something) in the dative case. The thing being liked is actually the grammatical subject in nominative.
