Quoth is an old way of saying “said.” You meet it in poems and old stories, not in the shop or the classroom: “Quoth the raven, ‘Nevermore.’” The word order is old too: quoth I, quoth he, quoth she — the verb before the person, which we do not do now with said. Nobody uses it in ordinary talk unless they are joking or putting on an old-fashioned voice.

QuothQuoth is是 an old way一種老式的說法 of saying "said."『said（說）』的. You你 meet it會遇到它 in poems and old stories在詩和老故事裡, not不會 in the shop or the classroom在商店或教室裡: "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'"『Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."』（渡鴉說道：永不復焉。） The word order語序 is old too也是老式的: quoth I, quoth he, quoth shequoth I、quoth he、quoth she — the verb before the person動詞放在人的前面, which we do not do now with said這是我們現在用said時不會做的. Nobody沒有人 uses it會用它 in ordinary talk在日常對話裡, unless除非 they are joking是在開玩笑, or或 putting on an old-fashioned voice故意裝出老式的口氣.

Though actually, it is not a fancy form of quote, and it is not the past of quote. It comes from an old verb meaning “to say,” and this form is only a past: I said / he said.

Though actually不過其實, it它 is not不是 a fancy form of quotequote的花式說法, and而 it is not也不是 the past of quotequote的過去式. It它 comes from來自 an old verb一個古老動詞 meaning "to say,"意思是『說』的, and而 this form這個形式本身 is only a past就只是過去式: I said / he saidI said／he said.

There is no everyday present “I quoth.” If you want “said,” say said; keep quoth for the page where the old voice belongs.

There is沒有 no everyday present這種日常的現在式說法 "I quoth."『我quoth』. If you want如果你要的是 "said,"『said』, say said就說said; keep quoth把quoth留給 for the page那種文字 where the old voice belongs需要老式口吻的.
