need modern word translation to olden day words
January 20th, 2020
does the word thee = the?
and what does the word thy mean today?
and are there any more olden words you can tell me with the meaning of today’s word? ty
I’m not sure 100% but I i think Thy = I, Thee = He
and no idea about the translator
EDIT – Google is your friend at the end..

Hope it helps~~ :mrredhat:
EDITx2 – 'Thou' corresponds to 'I/you/he/she'. (Nominative)
'Thee' corresponds to 'me/you/him/her'. (Accusative)
'Thy' corresponds to 'my/your/his/her'. (Possessive)
'Thine' -- 'mine/yours/his/hers'.
so there is no word that means ‘the’ in olden english in romeo and juliet time?
Eh no idea..I read a list of words and it said The = Seo and that doesn’t seem right so..ask here :

in this version “the” appears many times

so “the = the” from what I can see
5 times in the PROLOGUE
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
I searched the page for the text “the “, including the space
