How to translate “He can’t buy me” in French?

Not sure about what your book actually says but me/te/nous/vous can be used as both direct and indirect object pronouns.

Your sentence translates then to:

Il ne peut pas m’acheter.

Same for:

Il m’a acheté, il t’a acheté, il nous a acheté

there are many pronouns and it can definitely be confusing. Here are the categories you’re talking about:

  • pronoms personnels sujets: je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles
  • pronoms compléments directs: me, te, le/la, nous, vous, les
  • pronoms compléments indirects: me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur
  • pronoms y et en (other situations)
  • pronoms toniques: moi, toi, lui/elle, nous, vous, eux/elles

So to translate He bought you/ me/ us, you can say: Il t’/m’/nous a acheté-e-s -> don’t forget to adjust the participe passé with the COD!
