- 1has 的古體(他/她/它「有」;聖經、莎士比亞常見)
Hath is simply has — the old form for he, she, or it. “She hath a kind heart” means “she has a kind heart.” Nobody uses it in normal talk now, except when quoting the Bible, Shakespeare, hymns, or a historical play. It is not “more polite” has; it is costume-English. In old grammar the ending -th did the same job that -s does today (he hath / he has; he / he does). You may still see hath on old signs or in set phrases, but in class, emails, and conversation, say has.
From the word’s history
From Middle English hath, from Old English hæfþ 'has'; have + -th.
have 的古式第三人稱形,源自古英文 hæfþ「有」。
組成have + -th (the old ending for he/she/it). From Middle English hath, from Old English hæfþ / hafaþ (“has”), from Proto-Germanic *habaiþi. Same old “has” family as Dutch heeft and German hat.
