is thy the same as thee?
2007-12-02 12:07:48 · update #1
Both are correct in SOME instances, but not in all
1) "Thine" has TWO uses .
a) The first is as an alternative for "thy" when the following word begins with a vowel-sound. In this use these are equivalent to modern "your". "Mine" used to function the same way, e.g., The Battle Hymn of the Republic uses the archaic form -- "MINE eyes have seen the glory. . . "
There are many examples of this use of thine in the King James Bible and hymns... "Have thine own way, Lord" vs. "Great is thy faithfulness" (the second is followed by a consonant)
b) The second use is equivalent to "yours", and parallels the (only) way we now use "mine". "Thine is the kingdom" (end of the Lord's Prayer)
2) "Thus" has a range of uses (see the link), ONE of which is synonymous with "therefore".
From Am.Her.Dict entry for "thus":
3. Therefore; consequently: Thus it was necessary for me to resign.

For other uses of "thus" you cannot substitute therefore, e.g., "The game is played thus." (meaning "in this manner", in other instances "by this means")

So, according to nearly every Republican who clicked the "Answer" button, they don't care for your question and simply wanted to insult you some more. It seems pretty straight-forward. Perhaps reading comprehension is not for them?

omg are you saying there is only one type of person in a large political party and the republicans get to pick which one it is? wow! you're a moron! you see there are many different types of people on all ends of the political spectrum, see there are the fat *** lazy people who want something for nothing because its easier. then there is the over educated that want to give the lazy people whatever they want because they in fact are lazy as well and didn't want to pay for their education. now i know this will be tough for you, but just try and imagine that they're republicans that aren't all like bush too, amazing... see i'm more of a moderate republican, not an extreme republican. just like pelosi and obama aren't exactly the same. now i know you are most likely some moronic communist that wants everybody to be exactly the same so we can all be lovely robot people but that isn't so. we join political parties because they represent most of what we believe in, just like your dumb *** most likely thinks that all republicans are either bumpkins from the south or super rich corporate fat cats. those seem in direct odds with each other too don't they?

I can't agree with the answer you already have. Close, but not quite right.
"Thy" is "your." Give me thy hand, for instance.
"Thine" is "yours." My hand is thine.
("Thee" is "you.")
"Thus" means therefore, accordingly, or as a consequence of
