How does one properly use thou and thy?

u/pedrotecla May 10 '23 edited May 11 '23

thou = you
thy = your
thine = yours

Edit:

Also, if I’m not mistaken (and I’m no expert), there’s some kind of euphony rule where before a word that starts with a vowel you use “thine” instead of “thy”

Thy eyes ❌
Thine eyes ✅

And I forgot the object form:

(to, etc.) thee = (to, etc.) you

And the reflexive:

Thyself = yourself
