A word that adds another point of the same kind to what you just said.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Meaning
「それに」adds another point to the sentence before — "on top of that".
Versus what you know
It starts a new sentence, unlike し which stays inside one sentence.
Watch out
- One important rule: what you add must point the same way.
- Good after good, bad after bad.
- この 部屋は 広いです。それに 明るいです。(both good) is fine.
- But 広いです。それに 高いです。(good then bad) sounds odd — there you need でも.

Knowledge check (मिनी ज्ञान जाँच)
Which sentence does NOT fit それに?

Spacious (good) is followed by expensive (bad). That needs でも instead.
Which sentence puts それに in the right place?
💡 Hint: それに starts a new sentence.

💡 Hint: それに adds good after good, or bad after bad.
Cheap (good) followed by friendly staff (good) — same direction. Far away or expensive is the opposite, which needs でも. And それに cannot introduce an invitation.
