In a sentence
Майклу нравится путешествовать.
Michael likes traveling.
In this sentence, "Майклу" is a dative case form of "Майкл". It is used because the verb "нравиться" requires the person experiencing the liking to be in the dative case.
Я дал книгу Майклу.
I gave a book to Michael.
Here, "Майклу" is in the dative case, which is used as Michael is the indirect object, receiving the book.
Мы часто звоним Майклу.
We often call Michael.
Again, "Майклу" is in the dative case as the verb "звонить" (to call) requires the person being called to be in the dative case.
