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 Veeky Forums? 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".

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!

OP here, thanks for the explanation, Can someone still enlighten me to what those kinds of abbreviations are called?

holy fucking shit, i was thinking the exact same thing when i scrolled over this post, like the moment before i started scrolling i was going to look it up and then i saw this post, fucking hell are you me OP?

I am you.

t. OP

You've got a writer's attitude. I like this kid.

How the hell has "t." spread outside the Finnish language?
