Are the tickets for you?
Ja, die sind alle für mich.
Yes, they are all for me.
✕Common Mistakes
Ja, die sind alle für mir.
“für” always takes the accusative, so the correct pronoun is “mich”, not the dative “mir”.
Ja, die alle sind für mich.
Placing “alle” before the verb (e.g., *„die alle sind für mich“*) is non‑standard; it should follow the verb.
Ja, die sind alles für mich.
“alles” is neuter singular; with a plural subject you need “alle”.
↔Alternatives

Yes, they all belong to me.
Ja, das ist alles für mich.
Yes, that’s everything for me.
Ja, alles ist für mich.
Yes, everything is for me.
Cultural Tip
In German, the word order “die sind alle für mich” is natural and emphasizes the totality of the items. Avoid swapping “alle” and “für mich” (e.g., *„die sind für mich alle“*) as it sounds awkward. Also, remember that “für mich” uses the accusative pronoun “mich”, not the dative “mir”.
