===Etymology===
From {{inh|nl|dum|ji}}, northern form of {{m|dum|gi}}, from {{inh|nl|odt|gī}}, from {{inh|nl|gem-pro|*jīz}}, a northwest Germanic variant of {{m|gem-pro|*jūz}}, from {{der|nl|ine-pro|*yū́}}. Cognate with {{cog|nds|ji}}, {{m|nds|jie}}, {{cog|en|ye}}, {{cog|fy|jimme}}, {{cog|de|ihr}}.

Until the earlier 20th century, {{m|nl||jij}} was considered exclusively colloquial and hardly appeared in writing. The standard equivalent was the doublet {{doublet|nl|gij|notext=1}}. However, the latter’s object and possessive forms {{m|nl|u}} and {{m|nl|uw}} interfered with the polite pronoun {{m|nl|u}} that had developed in the northern Netherlands and this could be odd-sounding e.g. in private letters. Therefore the Hollandic colloquial system (with {{m|nl||jij}}, {{m|nl|jou}} and {{m|nl|jullie}}) came to be fully standardized after [[WWII]]. {{m|nl||Gij}} has since been restricted to religious and highly formal contexts in the Netherlands, but remains common in Belgium.

====Usage notes====
* Like several other Dutch personal pronouns, {{m|nl|jij}} has the unstressed variant {{m|nl|je}}, which is used when the pronoun lacks sentence stress. This is usually also reflected in writing.
:: {{ux|nl|In dat restaurant kun '''je''' heerlijk eten, ben '''je''' daar wel eens geweest? — Nee, '''jij'''?|'''You''' can get great food in that restaurant, have '''you''' ever been? — I haven't, have '''you'''?}}
