For example, this construction, the dative, is used not only to transfer things, but also for the metaphorical transfer of ideas, as when we say, "She told a story to me" or "told me a story," "Max taught Spanish to the students" or "taught the students Spanish."
De exemplu, aceasta constructie, dativul, este folosita nu numai pentru a transfera obiecte, dar si pentru transferul metaforic de idei, ca si atunci cand spunem, "Mi-a spus o poveste mie" sau "mi-a spus o poveste," "Max a predat spaniola studentilor" sau "a invatat pe studenti spaniola."
