Du is when "you" is the subject of the sentence. Dig is when "you" is the object of the sentence. With that particular word, English makes no distinction, but Danish does (as do many other languages).

It's like: "Is it you?-Yes, it's me". You also say "me" and not "I". I hope, this helps!

True, although 'It's me' has come into such common use in modern times that the other has started to sound formal and almost archaic. I guess it's an example of language slowly changing over time.

You should go over the words one by one because as a full sentence it's pronounced incorrectly

Unless I slow it down, it sounds like "Æ di la" or Something like that. I understand verbal truncation, but this is too much lol.

What I heard here was " A D Da.?"....... The phonatics are so so difficult to get a grip on for a non european...... Its borderline miserable
