Ay, me! Wherefore art thou, Brian?

I'm over here. Brian, it doesn't mean "Where are you?".

I'm not asking "Where are you?". "Wherefore" doesn't mean "Where".

What does it mean then? I don't know actually.

It's like someone should do a "Shakespeare English" lesson on YouTube or something. Brian!

When people study Shakespeare, usually they get quite afraid or "afear'd". Why? Because there are all these strange new words.

Well, they're not new, they're really really old. And now we don't really use them Some we do that we'll talk about that later.

So, what do they all mean? Well, let's start with the pronouns thee & thou. They both mean "You" but we use them in different situations.

For example, Thou, that's when you is the subject of a sentence. For example: Thou art beautiful.

Notice how he said "Thou" or "you" ART beautiful" and not "Thou are beautiful". This because verbs were different too.
