What is Hey Digga?
Hey Digga is a german phrase to greet or to adress someone/something.
Digga is the equivalent to the english term bro, dude or homie.
In the german language you can describe someone as "dicker Freund" which literally translates to "fat friend" but actually means "close friend"; so a "Digga" is a "close one"
The "ck" in Dicker changed to the "gg" in Digga because of the Hamburg dialect.
Digga was popularized by the Hip-Hop culture of Germany since the early 90s and is today used all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The german word is a positive one and has nothing to do with the american derogatory term "ni**er“, nor "digger" nor "digging".
Hey Digga lang nicht mehr gesehen! - Hey bro long time no see!
Was geht Digga? - What's up dude?
