I think there's a translator out there where you can type in your phrase and it'll make it all old fashioned. Dunno about a tutorial. Also it's Dost not Doth i think.

It's a bit more like foreign languages are now - complicated. There's polite versions of You, like dingbats said, Thou and Thee - Can't remember which one's which, and probably all sorts of stuff. The only tutorial I know is reading some shakespeare . I wouldn't be too surprised if there's more than one word like dost / doth. It's a bit more like foreign languages are now - complicated.

Another good place to find some of these is to play Chrono Trigger. Glenn is just full of the stuff. Thou = You Thine = Your -ith = added as a suffix to several verbs.

Therefore, it doth, but thou dost. Anyway, I'm not too sure about the -eth thingy, so I'd like to know where to find a tutorial. If anyone knows anything about this, post it here! -eth is added instead of -s on 3rd person singular. -est is the same thing but on 2nd person singular. Therefore, it doth, but thou dost.

If anyone can find an article about that, I would be glad, and other people would too. <a href='http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/thewriting/glarchthou/glarchthou.html?_=1076000705' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a good article about 'thou' and 'thee'.
