Old English

I would dearly love to learn Old English. It looks like such a beautiful language. I just found a couple of sites which tell you how to conjugate a few verbs. I finally know how to do it! I’ve had my suspicions… Basically I knew that the forms were something like:

  • I sing (?)
  • she singest
  • you singeth

but I just found out the properness of how to do it.

See this page for a few more details. Basically, and this is the really cool bit cos I get to use the letter “þ” (makes the “th” sound in wrath or think), these are the verb conjugations for Old English:

Subject Old English Modern English
I singe sing
you (thou) singest sing
he/she singeþ (singeth) sings
we/you/they singaþ (singath) sing

Old English is such a beautiful language, I would absolutely love to learn it!
