Usage notes
- Dou was considered to belong to a particularly low-status register, associated with the speech of lower-class speakers from certain Hollandic dialects. Early modern texts from Holland for a general audience typically used du if they used the archaic second person singular at all, but dou is well-attested in farces. In Stadsfries and Bildts (the Dutch dialects traditionally spoken in Frisia), dou is still widely used.
