for the next lesson we have to find how to construct nouns in celownik (dativ)
I have found some minimal information but the complete rule set
on : +u or for person : +owi
ono = o -> u
ona : a -> e or ka ->ce
would there be somewhere a complete list/overview of these rules
Any site that you could recommend
Thanks for all help/update
Best Regards, Zbyszek Przytula

on : +u or for person : +owi

The prevailing dative ending in the masculine gender seems to be -owi for every noun, regardeless if it is a person or not. The -u ending has survived only in words most often used, for example: bratu, ojcu, ksiêdzu, ch³opcu, kotu, psu. Some people might still say the dative koniu, but the majority of them will say: koniowi; the same with os³u/osio³owi. I think some may have already started saying: kotowi, bratowi ...

os³u/osio³owi

osio³owi is wrong, the correct form is os³owi

Ziemowit:

kotowi, bratowi - these sound really bad - of course it can happen by mistake (by analogy to the words with the -owi ending, which is more common in celownik), but if someone uses these forms on a regular basis, it hurts the ears of the listener :)

Anyway, os³u is the regular form when talking about an animal, os³owi refers to people (when you say osio³ about someone stubborn or lazy, stupid etc.).

there is a difference between Daj and Dawaj.
Daj is simply "give"
Dawaj is "keep giving"

os³owi is certainly incorrect in referrence to an animal.
it is, though, correct in case of a "donkey" - a lazy person.
such forms like "bratowi" are completely incorrect
and I don't even know how You figured them up :)

cheers
