Dutch
editEtymology
editFrom Middle Dutch dijn, from Old Dutch thīn, from Proto-Germanic *þīnaz.
Pronunciation
editDeterminer
editdijn
- (obsolete or archaic) your, thy
- late 16th c., Philips Marnix van Sint Aldegonde, "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe", (modern, redacted version), stanza 7.
- Van al die mij bezwaren en mijn vervolgers zijn,
mijn God, wil toch bewaren den trouwen dienaar dijn;
dat zij mij niet verrassen in hunnen bozen moed,
hun handen niet en wassen in mijn onschuldig bloed!- (please add an English translation of this usage example)
- late 16th c., Philips Marnix van Sint Aldegonde, "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe", (modern, redacted version), stanza 7.
Usage notes
edit- Entirely obsolete in Dutch and thus no longer found even in Biblical or poetic usage (unlike English thy).
- The only exception is the expression mijn en dijn (“one's own and other people's property”). For example: Hij heeft moeite met het onderscheid tussen mijn en dijn (literally “He has trouble with the difference between mine and yours”), which would mean the person is unreliable in money matters, may commit petty thefts, will not return borrowed goods, etc.
