Define: Thyself

Well, I had posted a bulletin on Myspace that said:

"Created thyself in South Park land."

Along with a picture. (included at the bottom)


I got a response from a friend who said:

"you used thyself wrong. its a form of i when talking to a you. make sense? it means yourself."

So I did some research on the word thyself but didn't find any answers I was looking for. I'm open for being wrong, that's how I further enhance my knowledge.

The only thing that somewhat helped was somewhere I read that "Thyself" is knowing yourself. And at this time in my life, this picture does describe me.

So if someone with some insight on this could help me out, that'd be great.

Thanks alot,

"Thyself" means "yourself," basically.

For instance, "Know thyself" means "Know yourself." I don't think there are really many instances where "thyself" is used, though.

Thyself does just mean "yourself," like K_A said. It's old English, which is why we no longer use it. That also explains why you might have a hard time understanding what it means. I've studied old English, and you should be glad we don't write or speak in it. 'E' is far overused.

So then I was wrong, correct?

From what they say, Yes. You Said "Created yourself in south park land."

That's just what my head comprehends it as.... I never saw a difference in Thyself and Yourself other then Theyself sounds like something an Old Wizard or whatever says...

Uhh.....the Shakespeare version of "myself"?
