"I write to you."

Translation: Jeg skriver til dig.

[Mae-Rose]

Why would "du" not be correct?

[Xneb]

Dig in Danish is used for direct and indirect objects (like me/him/her in English). It would sound a bit like trying to say "You write to I" instead of "You write to me", just doesn't sound right

[Mae-Rose]

Oh okay. Thank you!

[Jay709846]

I believe that at the end of a sentence you say "dig" for you. It also might be that when "you" is not the direct subject, you say "dig".

[dkoska]

This sentence reminds me of Pushkin's classic: "Я к вам пишу..."

[20first]

This one is tricky. I got the possible answer "Jeg skriver til dem.", which is wrong. However, "Jeg skriver til Dem." would be correct, wouldn't it? (Though not used very often.)

[epac-mcl]

Yes. "Dem", with the capital "D", is a polite way of saying "you" (singular)

[traczu70]

Jeg skriver til dem would be 'i write to them'

[mmarracc]

oooh, i hate "you"...it is everywhere ...in singular, in plural, small one, big one... damn... someone should write a book about "you" in every possible language so nonnative people who understand English could understand "you"...or "You"....:D

[zeyneparman]

Is that also ok?

Jeg skriver ved dig

[funkytonka]

I was also thinking the same thing, since ved is for transitive verbs, isn't skriver supposed to be complemented with ved?

[funkytonka]

Please someone tell me why this isn't ved dig?

[Liesbeth86030]

would 'jeg skriver dig' also be correct?

[mirza286285]

why I cant write Jeg skriver for dig
