In English (that was Shakespeare's language you know) it is a second person singular accusative pronoun, an alternate to 'you'. However, "you" is also the second person singular nominative pronoun and the plural nominative and accusative pronoun as well. Is all this grammatical terminology confusing? Maybe some examples will help.
1. "I love you, Jane". There's only one Jane, and she is the object of the loving. You can say "I love thee, Jane" instead.
2. "To all my many fans, all I can say is that I love you." The fans are the object of the love alright but there are many of them so you cannot use "thee" here; you must use "you".
3. "Jane, you are the light of my life." There's only one Jane, but she is the subject of the sentence. You can't say "thee are the light of my life"; you have to use the nominative pronoun "thou" and the special verb form that goes with it, in this case "art" instead of "are".
4. "My fans, you have stuck by me all these years" OK, this is right out. There are lots of fans and they are the subject of the sentence. You've got to use "you".
"Thou" is the second-person singular nominative pronoun. If that's too much for you, it is the same as the word "you" if there is only one of you and it's the subject of the sentence.
For example, if one were to say, "You are my wife", the person being addressed is only one person and is the subject of the sentence, so "you" can be replaced by "thou". If one were to say, "You're a great audience", you cannot use thou because there are, we hope, more audience members than one. If one were to say, "I love you" you cannot substitute "thou" for "you" either because this time "you" is the object of the sentence.
Thou has its own set of verb forms. You know how you say "I am", and "she is" and "you are". Well, if you are using thou you have to say "thou art" (You know like the religious song "How great thou art"). Other verbs end in -st or -est: thou hast, thou doest, thou gavest, thou thinkest, thou lookest and so on.
The plural of thou is you.
thou = you (yourself)

"You"
"Where art thou" means "where are you." The use of the word "thou" indicates the speaker is asking someone who is on friendly, informal terms with him, or her.
