Verb +し、

いAdjective +し、

なAdjective +だし、


1. When you want to mention not just one, but two or more reasons, you can use し in place of から.  し usually follows a predicate in the short form. In present tense sentences, だ appears with な-adjectives and nouns, but not with い-adjectives.


おなかがすいたし、のどがかわいたし、なにかたべたいです。

Because I'm hungry and thirsty, I need to eat something now.


今日は週末だし、天気が良いし、公園は人が多いです。

Because it's weekend and the weather is nice, the park was packed with people


今日(きょう)は暇(ひま)だし、仕事(しごと)がないし、一日(いちにち)ゲームをします。

Because today I have free time, I have no work, so I will play a game all day long.



人(ひと)は多(おお)いし、物(もの)は高(たか)いし、空気(くうき)は悪(わる)いし、ここはあまりいい所(ところ)ではありません。

Because there are many people, things are expensive, air is bad, this is not a very good place.


今日(きょう)は寒(さむ)いし、どこへも行(い)きません。

Because it's cold today, I won't go anywhere.


雨(あめ)が降っているし、帰ります。

Because it's raining, I will already go back home.


2. It expresses feelings such as "further more" or "in addition". These feelings are further strengthened if 「も」or「は」are used, in place of 「が」


雨(あめ)も降(ふ)っているし、時間(じかん)もないし、タクシーで行こう。

雨(あめ)は降(ふ)っているし、時間(じかん)はないし、タクシーで行こう。

It's raining, we don't have time, so let's take a taxi.


少(すこ)し熱(ねつ)もあるし、頭(あたま)も痛(いた)いし、家(いえ)に帰(かえ)ります。

少(すこ)し熱(ねつ)はあるし、頭(あたま)は痛(いた)いし、家(いえ)に帰(かえ)ります。
