Привет!
That's ugly. I don't like it either.
This unit further expands your understanding of the Dative Case, which is used primarily:
1) To express age (Мне 18 лет!)
2) To express the indirect object, which is another way of saying "the person who's the object of a ditransitive verb"... I realize maybe that's not any easier! You use the dative for sentences like Ирина подарила своей сестре свитер на день рождения/ Irina gave her sister a sweater for her birthday. Своей сестре is the dative form of своя сестра (her sister). It's dative because it's the indirect object, in other words, sister is the person in an expression with two objects (sister=indirect object=dative; свитер=direct object=accusative (SAN!)).
3) It's used with impersonal expressions like Мне надо! I gotta go!) Тебе нужно больше заниматься! You should study more! Ивану нужно купить книгу.
4) And for the verb нравиться, a super important verb: Мне не нравится онлайн урок!
Here are the deets....
One way to think about this is: The Dative has a vowel, -е, that pops up all the time in formation (мне, тебе, школе...), PLUS the consonant м which likewise pervades the dative (журналам, вам, ему). Between those two letters, you got MOST of the forms...
