How it works

Attaches to the plain form of verbs, adjectives, or nouns to list multiple reasons or characteristics.

Example

Ame mo furu shi, kaze mo tsuyoi desu. It is raining, and the wind is also strong.

Versus

て (te) connects actions sequentially or lightly, but does not emphasize listing reasons argumentatively like し (shi).
