I'm not quite certain when to use "thy" rather than "thine". I'll never make a good 15th century villain at this rate! Please elucidate me if you know.

Thine?

Thanks for the plug, I think..
Use thy in this way. "That orange is pi-thy."
Thine is used in sentences like "Some thine about booze maketh me ill."
I can't believe you don't know the difference! What kind of education did you have, anyway???
"Thy" rhymes with "sty"
"Thine" rhymes with "wine"
Oops Oops sorry typo
thy = YOUR
thine = YOURS
I knew my "History of the Language" course would pay off someday...
Woohoo! I've now learned something today! That class sounds pretty fun actually.
It's the same with "my" and "mine." My dog is mine. Thy dog is thine. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, and thine eyes have, too. It's the vowel thing AND the your/yours thing.
