        indirect object will often follow a preposition such as "to" (I wrote a letter to my
        brother) or "for" (I bought this book for my sister.) In Russian, no preposition is needed
        in these sentences.</p><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Я написал письмо брату.</em></span></p><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Я купила эту книгу сестре.</em></span></p><p>Other uses of the dative case in Russian include:</p><div class="orderedlist" epub:type="list"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem" epub:type="list-item"><p>telling your age:</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col class="c1"/><col class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Мне пятьдесят лет.</em></span></td><td>I'm 50 years old.</td></tr><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ей пятнадцать лет.</em></span></td><td>She's 15 years old.</td></tr><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ивану сорок лет.</em></span></td><td>Ivan's 40 years old.</td></tr></tbody></table></div></li><li class="listitem" epub:type="list-item"><p>describing how you feel:</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col class="c1"/><col class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Мне холодно.</em></span></td><td>I'm cold.</td></tr><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ему скучно.</em></span></td><td>He's bored.</td></tr><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Тане интересно.</em></span></td><td>Tanya's interested.</td></tr></tbody></table></div></li><li class="listitem" epub:type="list-item"><p>indicating that you like someone or something:</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col class="c1"/><col class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Этот самовар мне
