===Etymology 1===
{{root|en|ine-pro|*dʰeygʷ-}}
From {{der|en|enm|diggen||to dig}}, alteration of {{der|en|ang|dīcian||to dig a ditch, to mound up earth}} (compare {{cog|ang|dīcere||digger}}) from {{m|ang|dic|dīc, dīċ|dike, ditch}} from {{der|en|gem-pro|*dīkaz}}, {{m|gem-pro|*dīkiją||pool, puddle}}, from {{der|en|ine-pro|*dʰeygʷ-||to stab, dig}}. Additionally, {{cog|enm|diggen}} may derive from an unrecorded suffixed variant, {{m|ang|*dicgian|*dīcgian}}. Akin to {{cog|da|dige||to dig, raise a dike}}, {{cog|sv|dika||to dig ditches}}. Related to {{cog|frm|diguer||to dig}}, from {{cog|fro|dikier}}, itself a borrowing of the same Germanic root (from {{cog|dum|dijc}}). More at [[ditch]], [[dike]].

====Usage notes====
* Note that some verbs have special senses when used reflexively. For example, do not confuse ''du lär dig att...'' ("you learn to...") [reflexive] with ''jag lär dig att...'' ("I teach you to...") or ''du lär dig själv att...'' ("you teach yourself to..."). Here, ''lär'' means ''teach(es)'' if it is not reflexive, but ''learn(s)'' if it is reflexive. Thus, the separate pronoun "dig själv" is needed when object and subject agree, even though the verb should not be used in the reflexive case.
* Also note that in the imperative, when there's usually no explicit subject given, the "själv" is dropped.
* {{m|sv|mej|Dej}} (along with {{m|sv|mej}}) was popular as a semi-informal spelling around the 1970s to 1980s, and is therefore seen in many old song lyrics, for example. Usage has now mostly reverted back to ''dig''.
