"Этому человеку не нравится наша музыка."

Translation: This person does not like our music.

[OlegK.]

We will not be friends with that person. We will very painfully not be friends with that person.

[craaash80]

Ahahahahahahahahah I came here just to read the comments xD

[Feesp]

That person have to run - этот человек должен бежать!

[OlegK.]

"has to run" - present tense, third person, singular. ;)

Why is music not in accusative?

[Theron126]

With нравиться, the thing that is liked is in nominative case and the thing that does the liking is in dative case. It's more like "our music is not pleasing to him".

[Jeffrey855877]

I think of нравится as "is pleasing" or "is liked", so that "This music [subject of sentence] is not liked by that person." It's easy to understand why "that person" is dative in this format, because dative is translates as being "at", "to", "by", "for" [noun/pronoun].

[Preacheral.in.lv]

Because when you use нравиться the object is in nominative case while the subject is in the dative case

[va-diim]

Almost. The subject is always in the nominative case. Музыка is the subject, so it's in the nominative case, and the object is человек, so it takes the dative case "человеку."

The музыка [subj.] нравится to the человеку [obj.]. The music pleases the person.

I used ''guy'' instead of person...in my translation and was marked wrong.
I think is should be accepted as an alternative to person.

[Connor-R]

The word for "guy" is «парень» (It can also mean boyfriend)

[RogerRivero0]

Thank you Connor. Now it's clear.

Why этому not это

[va-diim]

The sentence is structured as "Our music does not appeal to this person."

"To this person" is этому человеку. The nominative case, этот человек, declines to the dative case, этому человеку.

It wouldn't be "это" because человек is a masculine noun. Это is a neuter noun determiner

[Likarrro]

Наша музыка и наши танцы раздражают радиостанции...

[Morteza766398]

Can anyone tell me why the translation is: THAT person and not THIS person?
As этому is dative case of этот , not тот...right?

[va-diim]

You're right. Literally, it translates as "this," but in English we use the word "that" in a loose sense, and in Russian the word это is used in the same loose sense. We're more likely to say "that person" than "this person," and in Russian, we're more likely to say этот человек than тот человек

[DanielAaroe]

Убей он.

[va-diim]

Убей его*

You said, "Kill he."

[davihrodrigues]

Why "song" isn't accepted instead of music?

[va-diim]

A song is песня

[DanielAaroe]

Those are two different words
