Some verbs expressing feelings, emotions and attitudes have different word order and typical grammar rules do not apply to them.

Líbí se mi Praha.

Sluší ti ta nová kravata.

Dědečkovi chutná guláš.

Hodí se vám středa večer?

Differently from usual rules, here, the person always becomes the object (in Dative) of the respective feeling or emotion.

I like Prague.

Prague seems nice to me.

The new tie suits you.

(literate translation)

Pronouns in Dative

The verb often stays in the third person (singular or plural). It is often the pronoun that can indicate who the sentence is about.

Líbí se — mi — Praha.
Líbí se — mu — Praha.

The dative pronouns are:

já – mi

ty – ti

on – mu

ona –

to – mu

my – nám

vy – vám

oni – jim

Other Languages

Other languages such as Spanish or German also have a similar grammar pattern:

La nueva corbata te queda bien.

Prag gefällt mir.

Die neue Krawatte passt zu Ihnen.
