Etymology and translationTat Tvam Asi (Devanagari: तत्त्वमसि, Vedic: tát tvam ási) is traditionally translated as "Thou art that", "That thou art", "That art thou", "You are that", "That you are", or "You're it";  although according to Brereton and others the proper translation would be "In that way [=thus] are you, Svetaketu", or "that's how you are":
