Du and deg work the same way as I/she/he and me/her/him.
You can say, "You see me/her/him," but you can't say, "You see I/she/he."
It's the same in Norwegian. You can say, "Du ser meg/Jeg ser deg," but you can't say, "Du ser jeg/Jeg ser du."
What is different between du and deg ? (Sorry, if I made any mistakes in English. Still learning english .)
Hello! So du means You as in terms for You/She/He but "deg" means you as in terms for Me/Her/Him. That's why here we use "deg" in the last word instead of du. I hope it helps!
It helped me. You can't say, "I see he". But you can say, "I see him". Thanks.
So whenever one has a word starting with a 'D' like 'deg' following a word ending with 'R' like 'ser', one would mostly not be able to tell it's there in regular local speaking, is that correct?
I believe not. I think the 'd' is loud and clear here. If you are referring to the 'r' in 'ser', it is pretty soft.
Hmm interesting ... I personally still struggle to pick out a 'D' sound but in any case, whatever sound it may be, it sounds like a single consonant that joins the two words
I'd said an 'R' and not a 'D' simply since I perceived that sound through my ears to be rather rolling
It seems to me that people coming from different languages hear pronounciations in a new language (sometimes very) differently. This keeps coming up again and again. I find it interesting. If only one could "hear" what the other person is hearing, it would make teaching and learning new languages much easier.
Deg means, They/she/he, and Du, means you/them/her/him Ex: Jeg elskar du = I love you = I love Them/her/him. (describing another person) Ex2: Jeg eslakar deg = I love he/she/they.(
