To mind\to matter

Dear all,

sorry for my many questions but after a week at work, I really need to clarify the things which were not clear to me..

So..

Could someone explain the difference between "to matter" "to mind", please check the following sentences and comment:

"it doesn´t matter if you can not come" here I think that "it doesn´t mind " could not be used

"I do not mind to go to Prague and meet him there" here "it doesn´t matter" could not be used

Am I right?

Thanks

Pamela

I do not mind implies that the person does not have any objections to what you want to do/say/go....
