thy

Definition

An old-fashioned or archaic word meaning “your” when speaking to one person. It is mostly found in the Bible, prayers, poetry, and older literature.

Usage & Nuances

Usually paired with archaic pronouns like 'thou' and 'thee'. Before a vowel sound, older texts often use 'thine' instead of 'thy' (for example, 'thine eyes' but 'thy hand'). Do not use it in normal modern conversation unless you want a biblical, poetic, or humorous effect.
