How do you say the in Shakespearean language?

Answer 1

Shakespearean English is english. It is the same language. If you wish to write in Shakespeare's style, first start writing in blank verse, or iambic pentameter. Use metaphors, similes and personifications to enrich the dialogue. Employ allusions to Roman history and mythology. Where needed, use long and complex sentences especially in description. To maintain the rhythm you may have to invert some verbs.

There is no need to use any archaic words or grammatical forms (Shakespeare did do this sometimes but it is not the essence of his style.)

For if his verse be copied by your words,

And drip in golden drops from silver pen,

Like honey from the bee's most careful comb,

Then forth your thoughts like Icarus will fly,

And seem to all you see to be the words

Of our most glorious Bard and gracious Will

Who used no language but the tongue

Of mother England as is spoken now;

From this poor sample you can clearly see

That anyone can Shakespeare's style employ.

You must admit that it is clearly true

That with these hints it's something you can do.

Answer 2

Shakespeare wrote in English. "The" in English is "the". Ninety-nine percent of the words Shakespeare uses mean exactly what you think they do. That's why people who can speak English can understand what Shakespeare's characters say, but not what Moliere's characters say.
