I want to learn to stylize my text like this


This is actually really funny because I was just on a post about the (mis)use of these more archaic constructions. https://www.reddit.com/r/linguisticshumor/s/yumBPsZZrW

It's literally Shakespearean!

It requires the knowledge of what's archaic and what isn't. It also has lots of similes so you need a large enough lexicon to pull that off. But it should be doable!

Nobody talks or writes like this. But if you must, feed your text to chatGPT and it will convert your text to look like this

[Early Modern English](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Modern_English)

It should be *dost thou,* not doth thou. I’m a big fan of thee/thou/thy/thine, we should bring it back so English has a second person singular/informal pronoun and a second person plural/singular formal pronoun again

It takes a lot of learning, most people who do it aren't doing it correctly (it should be "dost thou" not "doth thou"), and even when it's done right you usually just sound like a neckbeard creep.

The person who posted the question doesn't know how to use any of these words. They misused "thy", "thine", "doth", and arguably "makes". "Thy" is a possessive adjective - they should've used "thou". "Thine" is a possessive adjective used before a vowel - they should've used "thy". "Doth" is the third person conjugation of "do" - they should've used "dost". "Makes" is a modern conjugation - they probably should've used "maketh" if they're trying to use these archaic constructions, though that's a little less cut and dry.

It doesn't take too much learning. They're using some archaic words to achieve a funny faux-literary style. But their grammar is horrible, because they aren't native speakers of this type of English, either. 😂 No modern people are.

Play the Witcher 3 game in English. It is really hard even for decent non native speakers.

First you're gonna need a Fedora.

Step 1: Be exposed to archaic English Step 2: Don't actually learn it Step 3: Grind up what little you know and sprinkle it on top of your modern English

It's not super hard, but I would make sure you're confident and mostly fluent in English first. This style of writing is only really possible to learn all of just by seeing it a lot and getting a feel for it. You just need to learn, by seeing, which words are changed and how. But, to start you off, I can show you some of the fundamentals which are universal and quite easy to learn: Thou = "You", in the subjective tense, which means it's the person (or thing) doing the action. Example: You spoke to Mark = Thou spoke to Mark. Thee = "You", in the objective tense, which means it's the person (or thing) that the action is done to. Example: Mark spoke to you = Mark spoke to thee. Thy = "Your". Example: He is your neighbour= He is thy neighbour Thine = "Yours". Example: The ball is yours = the ball is thine. A few other key words: Do = Doth Does = Dost Have = Hath Has = Hast (Verbs in the same category will probably follow the same pattern.) Also: Most verbs (probably not all but I'm struggling to think of exceptions so it's safe to assume that you can almost always do this) with the present tense suffix -s, that suffix becomes -eth. Examples: Stands = Standeth, Speaks = Speaketh, etc etc. (They don't need to start with S, my examples just happened to by pure coincidence.) That's most of the actual language rules and words, there might be a few more niche ones, but those are the most important ones. Beyond that, it's mostly just a certain style of writing, which can only really be learned by seeing it and getting a feel for it, like I said.

Well, do you care if it's historically accurate? Because if you don't, you can just add "th" at the end of a verb and use thou/thy/thine instead of you/your/yours lol

When I read “stylize my text” — I interpret this as the way the lettering and spacing is designed. Like font and kerning. Just me??

They made an error because it's supposed to be 'makes thee' edit: also 'makes' is wrong, it should be 'make' in subjunctive

This is a humorous usage of Shakespearean English; as others have noted, it's mostly not correct, but it's not really meant to be. It's just meant to be a joke.

uhm acreage fadeth NOT
