How do you say Thine in french?

"Thine" is an archaic word in English, used mostly in poetry or religious texts. It's a possessive pronoun meaning "yours".

There is no direct equivalent of "Thine" in French. The appropriate translation depends on the context and the gender of the object being possessed:

* If "Thine" refers to something masculine: "le tien"

* If "Thine" refers to something feminine: "la tienne"

* If "Thine" refers to something plural: "les tiens/tiennes"

For example:

* English: "Thine eyes are like stars."

* French: "Tes yeux sont comme des étoiles." (Here, "tes" is the possessive pronoun "yours" in French.)

You can also use the more formal "Votre" (yours) or "Le vôtre" (yours, masculine) or "La vôtre" (yours, feminine). However, these are more formal and less commonly used in everyday speech.

It's important to remember that "Thine" is not a common word in English anymore, so if you are writing in French, you are better off using the standard possessive pronouns.
