Questions & Answers about После тренировки мне нельзя поднимать тяжёлую штангу.
Because после always takes the genitive case.
- Dictionary form: тренировка
- Genitive singular: тренировки
So:
- после тренировки = after the workout / after training
This is a very common pattern:
- после урока = after the lesson
- после работы = after work
- после тренировки = after the workout
So the ending changes because the preposition после requires it.
Because нельзя is used in an impersonal construction, and the person affected is put in the dative case.
So:
- я = I
- мне = to me / for me
In Russian, phrases like мне нельзя, мне можно, мне нужно, мне холодно are very common. English often uses I in these situations, but Russian often uses to me / for me grammatically.
So:
- мне нельзя literally feels like it is not allowed for me or I must not
That is why мне, not я, is used.
