What does thee in old English mean?

"Thee" in Old English is the second person singular objective case pronoun. This means it's used when referring to someone directly as the object of a verb or preposition.

Here's a breakdown:

* Second person: Refers to the person being spoken to.

* Singular: Refers to one person.

* Objective case: Used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition.

In modern English, "thee" is archaic and rarely used. Instead, we use "you" for both the subject and object of a verb.

Examples in Old English:

* "Ic sēo þē." (I see you.) Here, "þē" is the object of the verb "sēo."

* "Hē spræc wiþ þē." (He spoke with you.) Here, "þē" is the object of the preposition "wiþ."

In modern English:

* "I see you."

* "He spoke to you."

While "thee" is no longer in common use, understanding its meaning helps to better understand the historical development of the English language.
