Q: What does "Tha knows" mean?

You know (Yorkshire filler/emphasis). 'Tha' is Yorkshire for 'you' (from 'thou'), so 'tha knows' means 'you know.' It's used as a filler phrase and for emphasis, like 'y'know' but distinctly Yorkshire. It preserves the old second person singular.

Meaning: You know (Yorkshire filler/emphasis).

你知道的（约克郡的语气词/强调用语）。

Ya sabes, ¿sabes? (muletilla/énfasis de Yorkshire).

知ってるだろ、ほら（ヨークシャーのつなぎ言葉/強調表現）。

알잖아, 있지 (요크셔식 군말/강조 표현).

'Tha' is Yorkshire for 'you' (from 'thou'), so 'tha knows' means 'you know.' It's used as a filler phrase and for emphasis, like 'y'know' but distinctly Yorkshire. It preserves the old second person singular.

'Tha'是约克郡方言的'you'（源自'thou'），所以'tha knows'就是'you know'的意思。用作语气词和强调，类似于'y'know'但带有鲜明的约克郡特色。保留了古英语的第二人称单数形式。

'Tha' es la forma de Yorkshire para 'you' (del antiguo 'thou'), así que 'tha knows' significa 'ya sabes/¿sabes?'. Se usa como muletilla y para dar énfasis, como 'y'know' pero distintivamente de Yorkshire. Conserva la antigua segunda persona del singular.

「Tha」はヨークシャー方言で「you」（「thou」に由来）、つまり「tha knows」は「you know」という意味。つなぎ言葉や強調として使われ、「y'know」に似ているがヨークシャー独特の表現。古い二人称単数形を今に残している。

'Tha'는 요크셔 방언으로 'you'를 뜻하며 ('thou'에서 유래), 'tha knows'는 '알잖아'라는 뜻입니다. 말을 잇거나 강조할 때 쓰는 표현으로, '있잖아'와 비슷하지만 요크셔 특유의 표현입니다. 고어 2인칭 단수형을 보존하고 있습니다.
