I never got what "t." meant. Is it short for "thanks"? or "then"? or what? Why do I always see this at the beginning of sentences on /lit/? I've seen similar usage with terms like "et al." and "v." (as in the word "very"). What is this called?

The finnish word "terveiset", which means "regards".

>> No.7967202

It's Finnish for "regards, X"

So you're saying

Actually books are great

This. It can be used in the context of 'I'm an authority on this subject' like

>there are not actually that many muslims in sweden though
>t. swede

Or it can be used as a response to someone else to imply a certain identity, for example a response to the fictional post that goes

>t. muhammad

I never understood what 'the' means, I just went with it and now I'm too embarrased to ask what that heck does it means!

Please enlighten me!

/pol/ and their endless meme spouting caused it.
You'll often see:

It's just /pol/ shit, ignore it, filter it if you can.

i imagine because english doesn't have a language construct and it is sort of easier to use than trying to sound like a prick by starting a post on 4chan with "as a X I think that ...."
