What does thee mean in older English?

"Thee" is the object form of the pronoun "thou" in older English. It was used when referring to someone as the recipient of an action.

Here's a breakdown:

* Thou: Used as the subject of a sentence. Example: Thou art a good friend.

* Thee: Used as the object of a verb or preposition. Example: I love thee.

* Thy: Used as a possessive adjective. Example: Thy kindness is appreciated.

Here's an example of how "thee" was used in older English:

Modern English: I see you.

Older English: I see thee.

In modern English, we use "you" for both the subject and object of a sentence. So, "thee" is rarely used today.

It's important to note that "thee" was a familiar form of address, often used to refer to someone close to the speaker. The more formal and respectful form was "you."
