It’s kinda funny since German still bears similarity to this. German verbs tend to conjugate for second person with -st still anyway.
English: Like -> Likest
German: Mögen -> Magst
Dammit hit Enter by mistake
_Here’s what I was trying to say:
Yes I know, it’s not „Old English“ it’s „Early Modern English“. But using the term „Ye Olde English“ is just the popular term for it. I know it’s not right (It’s the internet, like anything’s right, especially on a Booru). It’s a joke, jokes are meant to not be taken seriously, which you are doing.
Besides, I’m a German, English isn’t my primary language, so I’m not exactly an English Master to begin with (Notice I used „doth“ instead of correct „dost“), again… it’s a joke.
Yes I know, it’s not „Old English“ it’s „Early Modern English“. But using the term „Ye“
What Luna speaks would be far more appropriately labelled as Early Modern English in fact (which is, in layman’s terms, what you’d find in an original Shakespearean manuscript), which is readable and understandable by most modern English speakers to some degree.
As to the phrase “Ye Olde English” - Olde is simply pronounced “Old”, not “Old-ee” like most people say it, and “Ye” is a mis-transcription of “The”, because in actual Old English, they used a letter called Thorn to represent “Th” sounds, which looked approximately like a modern “Y”.
THE MOAR YOU KNOW.
This is the ancient English grammar Nazi, signing off.
