Questions & Answers about Мне также нравится этот фильм.
Because the verb нравиться takes the dative case for the person who likes something.
- Мне = to me (1st person singular, dative)
- The structure is literally: “To me also is-pleasing this film.”
So in Russian you don’t say “I like this film” with я as the subject. Instead, you say something like “This film is pleasing to me,” and the “to me” part must be in the dative: мне.
The grammatical subject is этот фильм.
- этот фильм – nominative case (masculine singular, “this film”)
- нравится – 3rd person singular verb form, agreeing with фильм
- мне – dative object: the person who experiences the liking
So, structurally, it’s:
Этот фильм (subject) мне (indirect object, dative) нравится (verb).
Meaning: This film is pleasing to me.
