Canon Luna does it wrong so fanon versions need to make mistakes too.
In other words, doing it right is doing it wrong. |

IT'S NOT EARLY MODERN ENGLISH. IT'S OLD CANTERLOT! OR OLD EQUESTRIAN.
IT RESEMBLES OLD MODERN ENGLISH, BUT IT IS NOT QUITE. AND THAT IS JUSTIFIED FOR IT ISN'T. NEVER REPEAT THIS AGAIN |

Oh please, most can't even speak current English correctly >_> |

If you're really stuck, just watch older episodes of Last of the Summer Wine (have we ponified that yet?). They still spake like that then. |

I don't recall canon Luna ever doing it wrong |

Prima: It is my house.
Secunda: Prima, it is thy house. Prima: The house is mine. Secunda: Prima, the house is thine. Prima: The house is owned by me. Secunda: Prima, the house is owned by thee. |

So close! It would be "thine understanding," however, not "thy," because "understanding" begins with a vowel. Same sort of distinction as a/an. |

Hey OP. Did you consider they don't speak English? Ponies speak "Equestrian."
Get off your ivory tower, asshole. |

I admit, people who try to imitate Luna's mode of speech usually fail pretty damn hard at it. Probably because the number of people who can read Shakespeare, write it, and speak like it, are generally one in a hundred.
For example, this "guide" is wrong. Mine =/= Thine. Thine is...well...lesse. Example: "Thine explanation is flawed." |

Just replacing pronouns and some verb inflection is NOT early modern English. There are a lot of other minor differences (especially vocabulary.)
This is why Luna can be said to be speaking Ye Olde Butscherede Englishe. ^^Thine is actually the second person equivalent of the Early Modern English usage of mine, where my changed to mine if the next word started with a vowel as well as under the modern condition. Your own example is an example of this. |

Thine is definitely the 2nd person equivalent of mine. Just a look at Shakespeare will teach you that.
Thou and thee are both "you", but their usages are different. Thou is used as a subject, like I (thou speakest/I speak) and thee is used as an object, like me (I speak to thee/You speak to me) |

Thou art all simpletons, and possessed not of the wit or sense which Almighty God hath given unto the humble shovel. This line of argumentation is better suited to the braying of sheep in the field than to civilized menfolk, owing not the least to its exceeding frequency. |
