du, De Explanation: In practically all cases you will say 'du', however, there exists another form 'De' (pronounced 'dee'), which is or was used to be polite. It corresponds to German 'Sie', French 'vous' and Spanish 'usted'. 30 years ago it was still much in use, but, probably since Norway is an egalitarian society, its use has diminished ever since, and it's now practically obsolete. Native Norwegian living in Norway. |

du,deg,dere,De,Dere,man,en Explanation: "you" in English equals "du,deg,De"-singular, "dere,Dere" - plural, and "man,en" - indefinite pronouns. The correct translation therefore depends on the context. |
