"Hvem liker deg?"

Translation: Who likes you?

[lemichael93]

Buuurn!

[A.Connell]

Ouch, duo.

[Pauline653650]

Suddenly I am depressed.

[Caroline-G.]

Hi, Depressed! I'm Caroline!

[Z.97]

Why is this not "Who do you like?" And how can you tell? :(

[AlsEenPoffertje]

You can tell by the pronoun that's used. :D "du" is a subject pronoun meaning you, whereas "deg" is an object pronoun. If "deg" is used, that means "you" is receiving some sort of action, or it might come after a preposition. If "du" is used, on the other than, that means that "you" is the subject—it's doing the action.

• Hvem liker du? = Who do you like?
• Hvem liker deg? = Who likes you?

Hopefully this helps! ^_^

[Enstryl]

duo's pullin' low blows

[DomnuleAdam]

No one. That's why I spend so much time on Duolingo and Memrise.

[Nelmo4]

About the pronounciation, I can hear "hvem liker EI" is it how it should be pronounced? I can't hear neither the d nor the e nor g. O.o

[Vetikke22]

In Norwegian, some sounds together become a "retroflex". For example "rd", becomes [ ɽ ]. "Jeg like( ɽ )eg".

The "ɽ" is pronounced like a D, but with the tongue longer back in your throat.

[AlsEenPoffertje]

I can hear the d, but the g is indeed silent in words such as "deg," "meg" and "seg." ^_^

[Nelmo4]

thank you very much =D

[FatCatOnDiscord]

thank, duolingo, but i didn't turn the motivational lines option off.

[Caroline-G.]

I thought of this poem:

"I care for nobody, no, not I
If nobody cares for me"
-Issac Bickerstaff

Ingen andre enn deg duo.

[_.nightwing._]

wait, what's the difference between du, dere and deg?

[Sourick]

Du is used when «you» is the subject of a sentence. E.g. - you are a man :: du er en mann.

Deg is used when «you» is the object of w sentence. E.g. - the cat likes you :: katten liker deg.

Both 'du' and 'deg' are used in singular instances. 'Dere' is used for the plural variants. E.g. - hey, you guyS :: hei dere.
