A noun or pronoun used in the dative case is use to designate the person to or for whom something is done

Sofie gibt ihrer Freundin einen Kuss - Sofie gives her friend a kiss

There are commonly 3 nouns that occur when using the dative case: a person who does something, a person who receives something, and the object that is passed. The subject is in the normative case, the person who receives something is in the dative case, and the object that is passed is in the accusative case.

Doer: Normative	Verb	Recipient: Dative Case	Object: Accusative case
Yusuf	schenkt	seinem Vater	ein Buch

[!NOTE] The dative case indicates to or for whom

The dative case typically ends in, "-m" for masculine and neutral, "-r" for feminine, and "-n" for plural.
