I might take “me” instead of “me”. However, in principle, both 🙂

No objections.

More elegant would be “All except me knew that.”

I’m tapping “correct”.

I would say, “Everyone knew that except me.”

“mir” is a commanding word. You can’t ask “(All but who knew that?” You ask, “Who knew that” – “All except me.”

Except always takes Dativ, right?

Hmm, mostly. For example, “No one knows that to me.”

“Mir” is not a commander, but a Foreword/personnel pronouns in the Dativ (= 3rd case)

  • I – me – me
  • you – You – You – You – You
  • he – him – he/she – you – her/it – him – it
  • we – us – us
  • you – You – you / you – You – You
  • they – them – they

The most important Prepositions + Dativ: Except for: with, after, since, from, to

  • All except for have a car.
  • Who? you two will you go to the movies?
  • I have except my sister no more family members.

A pronoun (= Possessive pronoun) “MyheMyeMySyoursheyourseyoursS” etc. A registered article (=Possessivartikel) is “my, mye, my” etc. For example:

  • That’s it. you Car? mine.
  • That’s it. yours Girlfriend? mine.
  • That’s it. you Child? mine.

Complete nonsense! If you can’t get German, don’t play as an expert! After “except” always comes me and before a Come on.

I think you accidentally hung your comment on the wrong post. I don’t know where I was playing to the expert.

After “except” comes always me and before a comma.

Then at least I’m not the only fool. I find examples of constructions in which “mir” is not used.

Examples:

They all smell except me. = I don’t smell all.

They’re all showering Me. = I will not be cast by them.

The Duden lists a few turns where Dativ or Akkusativ or both go.

I’m not getting married

(with reference to the Duden)

Besides, I don’t always see a comma outside.

I would be very grateful for more friendly, future criticism, such as that of spanferkel14.
It doesn’t matter, especially since it’s unfair, because I can’t etched back.

It’s still like that.
