Usage notes nb Dem is always capitalized in polite address, as are nb De and nb Deres. Lowercase nb dem normally means “them”. nb Dem is used reflexively with nb De, including when the subject is understood in an imperative. Third-person nb seg is not used as the reflexive form of polite nb De. nb De, nb Dem and nb Deres are much less common than formerly. The ordinary forms nb du, nb deg and nb din are neutral even in official communication. Modern guidance recommends nb dere when addressing several people.“Høflighetsformene De, Dem og Deres”, Språkrådet. nb De is the subject form in standard written Bokmål. Subject nb Dem occurs in dialectal speech and its literary representation. See also References de de nb personal pronouns reflexive pronouns Anagrams nb dem dem med
