" Para mí" Para ti
Can anyone explain these? When to use? What the mean?
And are there more? I mean along the lines of mi ti, What are the other ones and what is this called?

They are the forms for the pronouns used as objects of a preposition--the other ones are the same as the subject pronouns, eg. ella. There are a number of prepositions which use the subject pronouns instead:
entre : between
excepto : except
incluso : including
menos : except
según : according to
salvo : except
When you use a pronoun after a preposition, that pronoun is called a disjunctive pronoun because, in contrast to other pronouns, these pronouns are not closely connected to a verb.
The forms of the disjunctive pronouns are the same as the subject pronouns except for mí and ti.
1st person sing. mí
