What is the archaic form of you?

The archaic form of "you" is thou.

This form is no longer used in modern English, but it was common in older forms of the language.

Here are some examples of how "thou" was used:

* Thou art my friend. (You are my friend)

* Thou shalt not kill. (You shall not kill)

* Wilt thou have this man to be thy lawful wedded husband? (Will you have this man to be your lawful wedded husband?)

Note: "Thou" was used in a more informal and familiar context, while "you" was used for more formal or respectful addresses.
