- 1（古語、對單數的你）汝當、你應當
Shalt is not a word for the street or for classroom chat. It is the old form of shall that went with thou — the old “you” used for one person. So thou shalt means you shall, and in the strong Bible voice, you must. Students meet it in the King James Bible and on posters that copy that voice: Thou shalt not steal. Two kind things to keep straight. First, shalt is not the “not.” Thou shalt not kill is you shall not kill; take the not away and it becomes a command to do the thing. Second, you do not say you shalt in modern English, and you do not use shalt with they or we. Today we say you shall or, more often, you will or you must. It sits next to wilt: thou wilt = you will. The -t on the end is the old “thou” ending.
