释义 | ye1pronoun jiːji dialect, archaic
UsageThe history of the use of ye is complex. In the earliest period it was used only as the plural subjective form. In the 13th century it came to be used in the singular, equivalent to thou. In the 15th century, when you had become the dominant subjective form, ye came to be used as an objective singular and plural (equivalent to thee and you). Various uses survive in modern dialects Phrases

It was never pronounced as ‘ye’ in the past, but this is the pronunciation used today. ye1pronounyēji dialect, archaic
