how do you use/say pronouns in irish

GERMAN ROCKS

im a bit confused about pronouns in irish. How would I go about translating the following sentences

I know him
I will give him the sweets
I hate her
I have your (plural) tests in the car
I have never met them before?
tell me about the holiday
answer the question in your(plural) copybooks

do we have nominative, accusative and dative pronouns in irish?

AnLonDubh

There are the nominative forms:
mé, tú, sé, sí, muid, sibh, siad

And accusative forms:
me, tu, é, í, muid/sinn, sibh, siad (note the lack of fada on me and tu and aspect often not marked in writing)

There are no genitive pronouns, but there are possessive pronouns:
mo, do, a, a, ár, bhur/úr, a

There are no dative pronouns, instead we have inflected prepositions, like (for le = with as an example):
liom, leat, leis, léi, linn, libh, leo/leotha.

sa ghluaisteán (charr)
I have never met them before? Níor bhuaileas leo riamh cheana
tell me about the holiday Inis dom faoi do shaoire.
answer the question in your(plural) copybooks
Freagraígí an cheist in bhur cóipleabhair.

That's how I'd say it. Not sure if it's 100% correct - or even 5%.

I'm sorry, can't answer your grammar questions.

Simply put, in Irish, we have the unusual situation where the pronous have forms for each person, just like verbs do in most European languages. In other words, we conjugate them.
So it's not that we decline them as in German or English (I, me, my, mine) - it's that each pronoun has a pausa (basic) form, and a form for each person, I, you (singular), he, she, we, you (plural), they
e.g. the pronoun AR - on

pausa form - AR

on me - orm
on you (s) - ort
on him - air
on her - uirthi
on us - orainn
on you (pl) - oraibh
on them - orthu

All the main pronouns have a similar scheme where they are conjugated.

ok that solves that. the next hard part so is how do you know normally which one to use eg agam, orm, liom etc

so I know is maith liom (it takes liom)
ta dearthair amhain agam etc.

after that how would you learn what takes what. eg seasann se duit. it would stand to you. how would you learn its duit used here and not agat.
