Questions & Answers about Для меня здоровье важнее, чем деньги.
It means: “For me, health is more important than money.”
The phrase для меня adds a personal, subjective nuance: it’s my opinion or priority. Without для меня, it would sound more like a general statement or a universal truth: Здоровье важнее, чем деньги. – “Health is more important than money (in general).”
Для always takes the genitive case.
- The pronoun я (I) in the genitive is меня.
- So для меня literally is “for of‑me,” which in correct English is just “for me.”
Forms of я:
- Nominative (subject): я – “I”
- Genitive: меня – used after для, у, etc.
- Accusative: меня – same form as genitive
So we say:
- для меня – for me
- у меня есть – I have (literally: “at me there is”)
