Etymology

Pronunciation

Adjective

酸し (hiragana すし, rōmaji sushi)

  1. (archaic) sour; tasting of vinegar

Usage notes

The -shi ending is the terminal (sentence-final) form in classical Japanese. This form is archaic and almost obsolete in modern Japanese, having evolved into the -i ending, the base form for modern -i adjectives. For more detail, see Japanese equivalents of adjectives on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
