Questions & Answers about De ser paradiset.
Here, De most naturally means they.
A useful note: De can also be a very formal, old-fashioned way of saying you in Norwegian, but in modern everyday Norwegian, de usually means they. Since this word is at the beginning of the sentence, it is capitalized anyway, so the capital D does not by itself prove that it is the formal you.
It is capitalized because it is the first word in the sentence.
In modern Norwegian, the pronoun de is normally written with a lowercase d unless it begins a sentence. Older or very formal Norwegian sometimes used De for you, but that is uncommon today.
