An archaic or dialectal form of 'you' in some English varieties, particularly Northern English.
From Old English 'þū' (thou), related to the nominative second person singular pronoun. This form represents a shortened or dialectal variant that persisted in some regional varieties.
This tiny word represents one of the most dramatic changes in English - the loss of the informal 'thou/thee' system that most other European languages still maintain. Yorkshire dialect still preserves forms like 'thi' where standard English uses 'your.'
