How do you say you'r in Elizabethan English?

Answer 1

Elizabethan English was just an early form of modern English, and so "your" was, most of the time "your".

e.g.

"I have heard of your paintings, too, well enough" - Hamlet

"Your date is better in your pie or your porridge than in your cheek"-All's Well that Ends Well

"And you, good yeomen whose limbs were made in England, show us here the mettle of your pasture."-Henry V

"For you, great king, I would not from your love make such a stray to match you where I hate"-King Lear

"Aiming, belike, at your interior hatred"-Richard III

"Sir, he says he knows by your word 'tidings' that you are no statesman"-Jonson's Volpone

Sometimes, only when one person and no more is being addressed, Shakespeare and the King James Bible use the word "thy". This word is a holdover from Middle English and does not appear often or at all in the works of contemporary authors. It is thought that Shakespeare uses it because he was from the country and spoke a country dialect, and The Bible uses it because it was compiled from older translations.

Even though the word was on its way out back then, it still has a lingering place in English. What does Darth Vader say to the Emperor? "What is thy bidding, my master?"

Answer 2

As you've left some room for interpretation in your question due to your misspelling, I'll give several possible answers:

First, we'd have to whom the speaker is talking. There aren't hard-and-fast rules to this, but the general idea is this: the word "you" in Shakespeare's time was a more formal approach and generally was used when talking to a noble (or someone of higher status than yourself) or when in a formal context. In more down-to-Earth environs (or when talking to someone of lower status than yourself), the informal "thou" form was used.

So...

If you mean to ask how Shakespeare might have said the possessive "your" as in "your spelling is awful," and he was addressing a nobleman, he would you the word... brace yourself... "your." To pick a random example from the first scene of Hamlet, Francisco says to Bernardo "You come most carefully upon your hour."

The possessive "your" among more lowly characters would be "thy" as when king Claudius says to Laertes "Take thy fair hour, Laertes..."

If you mean to ask about the contraction "you're" as in "you're going to get an F in grammar," the same rules apply. Talking to someone of higher rank, one would say "you are". Talking to someone of lower rank, "thou art". Shakespeare sometimes contracted "thou art" to "thou'rt" (Twelfth Night II, 2 jumps to mind) or some such, but I can't think of an example of such a contraction for you are.
