Displaced native Middle English he from Old English hīe — which vowel changes had left indistinct from he (“he”) — by the 1400s, being readily incorporated alongside native words beginning with the same sound (the, that, this). The Norse term (whence also Icelandic þeir (“they”), Faroese teir (“they”), Danish de (“they”), Swedish de (“they”), Norwegian Nynorsk dei (“they”)) is from Proto-Germanic *þai (“those”) (from Proto-Indo-European *to- (“that”)), whence also Old English þā (“those”) and English they. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ðeː, ðə, eː, deː/ === Pronoun === thay they (third-person pronoun, nominative case, usually plural, sometimes singular) === References === == Vietnamese == === Pronunciation === (Hà Nội) IPA(key): [tʰaj˧˧] (Huế) IPA(key): [tʰaj˧˧] (Saigon) IPA(key): [tʰa(ː)j˧˧] === Etymology 1 === Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 替 (SV: thế). ==== Verb ==== thay • (台, 𫢼, 𠳙) to change; to replace to act in place of, to act on behalf of, to act for thay trời hành đạo ― to enforce the Way on behalf of Heaven ===== Derived terms ===== === Etymology 2 === ==== Adverb ==== thay • (卋, 世, 台, 咍, 𫢼, 𱔖) Used as a modifier to indicate surprise. Diamond Sutra, Vietnamese translation by Thích Thanh Từ, English translation based on Burton Watson (2010) & A. Charles Muller (2013) Đức Phật bảo: "Lành thay, lành thay! Này Tu-bồ-đề, như lời ông nói, Như Lai khéo hộ niệm các vị Bồ-tát, khéo phó chúc các vị Bồ -tát, nay ông hãy lắng nghe cho kỹ, ta sẽ vì ông mà nói. Người thiện nam, thiện nữ phát tâm Vô thượng Chánh đẳng Chánh giác nên như thế mà trụ, như thế mà hàng phục tâm kia." The Buddha said, “How good! How good! Subhūti, it is as you have said. The Tathāgata is well mindful of all the bodhisattvas, and is skillful at instructing the bodhisattvas. Now you listen well, and [he] will explain it for you. If good sons and good daughters would like to arouse the mind of peerless perfect enlightenment, they should abide like this and subdue their thoughts like this.” Synonym: ơi == Yola == === Article === thay alternative form of a (“the”) === References === Kathleen A.
