Definición

'Doest' is an old or archaic way to say 'do' when talking to one person as 'you' in older forms of English, especially in poetry or classic texts.

Uso & Matices

'Doest' is very old-fashioned and only appears in Shakespearean English, the Bible, or in poetry to create an archaic feel. Modern English uses 'do' for all persons; never use 'doest' in conversation or writing today unless imitating historical or poetic styles.
