"Thee" is actually "to you" or "for you". (I thought I knew less English than I actually do!)

- SiVal 13y agoAlmost. It's a difference between subject and object, like I versus me or he versus him. Thou is the subjective form. "Thou art wise." Thee is the objective form. "My lord did kiss thee in the garden." Thee can be any object, such as the object of a transitive verb in the above example.
- userulluipeste 13y agoAgreed. I just tried to give a simple (but rough) explanation, but when one tries to do that there always is something "lost in translation".
