[edit]Pronoun
[edit]dej
- (colloquial) Pronunciation spelling of dig.
- 1989, Eva Dahlgren (lyrics and music), “Ängeln i rummet [The angel in the room]”[3]:
- Det bor en ängel i mitt rum. Hon har sitt bo ovanför mitt huvud. Hon gör mej lugn. Och hon viskar till mej allt det jag säger dej.
- There is an angel living in my room [it lives an angel in my room]. She has her dwelling [usually of animals, especially nests] above my head. She puts me at ease [makes me calm]. And she whispers to me all the things that [all that (which)] I say to you.
Usage notes
[edit]Popular (along with mej) as a semi-informal spelling around the 1970s to 1980s, and therefore seen in many old song lyrics for example. Usage has now mostly reverted back to dig.
