"We are giving him a phone."

Translation: Dajemy mu telefon.

Dative case?

It is normal that I repeat this lesson already two months?
( Sorry for my english )

Would it change if you were to say: "We are giving him the phone"?

[Jellei]

Not really, although potentially you could say that 'the' means almost the same as 'this' and translate it as "ten telefon".

[golden.plover]

Doesn't komórkę work here?

[Jellei]

Well, as almost all phones nowadays are cellphones - ok, added.

[WilliamHou15]

Why isn't 'Podajemy mu telefon' accepted?

[Jellei]

Well, "podajemy" means that we pass the phone to him.
