๐ŸŽ“ Explanation

The particle ใ— is used to list two or more reasons or characteristics. It often implies that there are even more reasons than the ones mentioned.

When using ใ— with nouns or na-adjectives in the present tense, you must add ใ  before it (e.g., ่ฆชๅˆ‡ใ ใ—).

This structure is frequently used to explain a conclusion or a feeling by providing supporting facts.

Yasui shi, oishii shi...
= 'It's cheap, and it's delicious (and so on).'
