I like how you explain the principles. Thank you!

[@BarmyDeer]

What a super tricky lesson! But you're the best teacher, Інна! 🫡

In the immortal words of George Costanza -Everybody must like me. I must be liked.

Привіт, Інно. Це Скотт. This is an amazing lesson about the verb to like and the dative case. I am trying not to work too fast on my lessons, but I hope this video is in the course. Everybody learning Ukrainian must know this! Дуже дякую! 💙💛🇺🇦

Привіт-привіт! Super Ci poszło u Norberta ostatnio:). Btw U nas w Polsce też mamy słowo "mowa" (мова) słowo bliskie słowu "język" (almost synonim) Ja nie znaju, czemu Norbert milczał:/

I guess I can jot notes right here in your video. This is very similar to gefallen (etwas gefällt mir) in German, piacere (mi piace qualcosa) in Italian, and нравиться in we-know-which. Also gustar (me gusta algo) in Spanish.

good video

[@frubtok7]

The rule similar to Italian and Spanish 'piacere ' and ' gustar'. In my language, Polish, it's also similar but the word order is different, for example ' Podoba mi się ten kolor '.

[@erichamilton3373]

A more direct translation for this verb is "to please". Examples are "it pleases me" (I like it) or "we please them" (They like us). It is used only for very specific contexts in English, and is related to "piacere" in Italian. The polite expression "please" in English is an outgrowth of this.

[@UkraineDude88]

This verb can be used with everything. Nice video

[@paulbarham1038]

Sometimes good review of something i know and Sometimes clarification of something I'm familiar with but dont fully understand or perhaps pronounce correctly.

[@salehzarei]

Thank you inna ! this is so useful

[@ursulafan6228]

Thank you 😍 you're brilliant

Two observations: 1. подобатися (to be liked) is very likely a relative of подібний (alike/similar) taking i/о alternation into account, and the word "like" covers both of those meanings, that's a an interesting convergent semantic development we have in some Indo-European langs 2. there is (as I can judge) no nonreflexive form подобати, and exactly same thing happened in Russian: there is нравиться (to be liked), but no нравить. It seems that even in Polish where "sie" is still a particle, "podobać" is never used without "sie"

[@rowanwills2334]

There is an easier way to understand this, I think. The same construction exists in Spanish ... me gustas = I like you, literally "you like to me". This makes no sense in english, but if you substitute the word "likeable" for the reflexive verb it's easier to get it. So, "you are likeable to me, and I am likeable to you". What's more, it also uses the remnant dative case in english (e.g. to me, to her). Hope that helps!

[@بێزۆرگتێربۊرگێر]

You could’ve explained this by comparing it to the English verb “to please”-This pleases me ≈ Це мені подобається.

[@hide3reptiles365]

Not as good a comparison as one might think. It's an active voice English construct and hence no cues for why you'd need the dative case in Ukrainian. I don't see what's wrong with explaining it the way she did.

[@Oly8989]

Hard way to express "I like you" 😭

[@bouboulinadecirta9302]

Privit ! Whats is absolutly sure is that all of us like Ukraina! Nam podobaetcia Ukraina! (I hope this formula is correct!) All of us are standing with Ukraina ! Trying to help People and to stop war. Stay strong ! Please take care of you and keep safe. Slava 🇺🇦🕊

[@SicilianDriverSR]

дуже дякую. Маю питання які іноземні мови знаєш? розмовляєш російською ?

[@LennyWulf]

Luckily my mother tongue has a literal translation for these phrases, so this isn't confusing at all for me, thank you German xD

You teach it well, but it's too slow and long :( дуже дякую :)

[@alanwheeler2530]

I think it's pace and thoroughness is great

[@zvikrol5220]

engllish is much easier!!

[@cho4d]

I love this video! You need 1000x more viewers and subscribers! ти подобаешся мені. I hope i got that right :)

[@Li.Siyuan]

Part of the reason you are getting confused is because you started off by mis-labelling the meaning of the verb in English. It would have been MUCH less confusing for all had you described it not as "to like", but as "to be liked". This makes it exactly the same as the Russian equivalent as нравиться and I, for one, would not have needed watch beyond the first minute or so.
