What does THINE mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
archaic
The archaic second person singular possessive form of you, corresponding to yours, used together with thou and thy in older and religious English.
Thine functioned as the possessive counterpart to thou in earlier English, filling the role that yours plays today, as in this house is thine. Speakers traditionally used thy before a consonant and switched to thine before a vowel or an h, much as a becomes an, so a phrase reads thy hand but thine eyes. The form survives now mainly in scripture, older hymns, Shakespearean plays and writing that deliberately imitates an old-fashioned or poetic voice. A modern reader who meets thine outside such contexts is almost always looking at a quotation or a conscious echo of earlier English rather than ordinary contemporary usage.
