How to Say “See You Tomorrow” in Old English

By •
ic geseo þe tomergen
The phrase "see you tomorrow" in Old English is ic geseo þe tomergen.
Meaning: see you tomorrow (phrase)

Did you know?

  • The letter þ in þe is called 'thorn' and was used to represent the 'th' sound before the Latin alphabet replaced it in English.
  • The word ic is a direct ancestor of the modern English 'I' and shares the same Proto-Indo-European root as the Latin 'ego'.
  • The phrase reflects a 'word order' that is much more flexible than modern English, as the importance was placed on the endings of words rather than just their position.
