It’s “Thou are tall” or “Thou art tall” Nominative Oblique Possessive Thou Thee Thy/Thine* I Me My/Mine* He Him His She Her Her/Hers** You You Your/Yours** * Used as an object (It is thine) or historically, when the following word started in the vowel (Thine eyes sparkle like diamonds, Mine ears ache) ** Used as an object (it is hers)
minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoYes I too, read the Wikipedia entry for thou/thee. Are the Outlander writers just dumb or something then? Or is what you’re referring to (“thou art”) just a different context. Because in Outlander, the quakers clearly use “thee is” and not “thou art/are”. Because they use it as the second person singular. Minor spoilers for latest season of Outlander Thee is a wolf
