Pronoun

[edit]

dej

  1. (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.
