〜し、〜し (~shi, ~shi) — This and also that (stacking reasons)
Giving more than one reason at the same time.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Meaning
- 「し」stacks reasons or qualities — "it is this, and also that".
- The conclusion comes at the end: 安いし、近いし、この 店に よく 来ます.
- Sometimes the conclusion is left unsaid and only the sense of "so, you see" remains.
How to attach
Attach し to the plain form: 安い → 安いし, 静かだ → 静かだし, 来る → 来るし.
Versus what you know
- N5から gives one reason; し gives several and hints that there are more.
- So even with a single reason, し sounds softer.

Knowledge check (मिनी ज्ञान जाँच)
How do you attach し to 「静かだ」?
💡 Hint: し attaches straight onto the plain form.
The plain form of the な-adjective is 静かだ, then し = 静かだし.
Which sentence stacks up several reasons at once?
💡 Hint: Repeating し piles up several reasons.
から gives one reason. Repeating し gives "it is cheap, and it is close" — and hints there are more.
In 「安いし、近いし、よく 来ます」, which part is the conclusion?
💡 Hint: The last part.
し stacks the reasons, and the conclusion comes at the end.
