Here die replaces hij, which could be ambiguous as it might refer to
the person, not the car.
8.1.2.6
English difficulties with subject and object pronouns
(a) Due to the subject and object forms of ‘you’ being the same in English,
confusion as to whether to use jij or jou in Dutch can arise in instances
like the following:
Hij is groter dan jij.
He is bigger than you (not jou, although it does occur in very colloquial
Dutch).
Ik vind hem aardiger dan jou. (object)
I like him more than (I like) you.
but
Ik vind hem aardiger dan jij. (subject)
I like him more than you (do).
Als ik jou was . ..
If I were you . . .
(b) Because of the confusion in the usage of ‘I’ and ‘me’ in colloquial
English, a confusion which does not occur nearly as often in Dutch
(although it is not unknown), one must be careful not to confuse ik
and mij in sentences like the following:
Hij is groter dan ik. (not mij) (subject)
He is bigger than me (= I).
Robert heeft wat geld aan Jan en mij gegeven. (object)
Robert gave some money to Jan and I (= me).
The ‘I’ in the previous sentence is an example of a usage which now
occurs in English almost to the total exclusion of the strictly correct
form ‘me’; it’s not an error which can be replicated in Dutch, but so
few English-speaking people now know where to use ‘me’ correctly
any more.
8.1.2.7
The use of ‘to’ in English before pronominal indirect objects
Note the use or lack of aan in the following examples:
She gave it to the man. Zij gaf het aan de man.
