RANDOM WORDS

立秋 -> りっしゅう -> Beginning of Autumn

中秋 -> ちゅうしゅう -> Middle of Autumn

おなかがすく -> I'm hungry (LIT: Stomach is Empty)

のどがかわく -> I'm thirsty (LIT: Throat is Empty)

気持ちいい -> Feelign good (in a physical way, not emotional/mental/anything else)

なにがあったんですか -> What Happened?

Multiple Reasons Why -> ~し

This structure is used if there are multiple reasons that result in something. Can add "だから" if you want to emphasize the meaning, but its optional, and usually not needed. This is usually a speaking word, and not really a writing word (AKA, its not terribly polite). To make it more polite, just conjugate all the verbs to polite way. You can keep connecting reasons without issue, just keep em rolling. You can end the last one with "~から” or "~だから" instead of し, doesn't change the meaning, just works with the rest of Japanese.

If the reasons end in nouns, need to have です or だ after, to complete the sentence.

For lists of adjectives, can just say the adjective and then add し after it.
