How do I know when should I use мне или меня тебе тебя?

2"мне / тебе" is Dative case; "меня / тебя" is Accusative and Genitive. It turns out that you're asking about the usage of three of six main cases within a single question. Don't expect anything useful from this.– MattJul 2, 2016 at 13:32

1It sounds like you are looking for a simple rule for choosing the correct case. Most beginners try to do this, but it cannot be done. They do not make progress until they stop viewing the case system as an annoying obstacle to be overcome by clever hacks and recognize it as a powerful tool for expressing their thoughts. The cases are labels attached to the names of the actors in the sentence in order to show what the role of each is in the action. Learn what each cases means and then observe how they are used to express ideas. There is no other way.– David42Aug 3, 2017 at 17:42

"Мне" и "тебе" is the dative case:
"To whom? - to me". "Кому? - мне".
"Меня и тебя" is genitive:
"For whom? - for you". "From whom? - from me".
"Для кого? - Для тебя". "От кого? - От меня".

Can you differentiate between "for me" and "to me"? How do you decide when to use which?– DimaJul 2, 2016 at 13:10

Ah, yeah ... :) Try asking a question. "Можешь ли ты понять КОГО? - меня". When you ask "кого?", the answer is "меня". If the question is "кому", then it is "мне".– DimaJul 2, 2016 at 13:17
