本是 běn shì this is

便是 biàn shì is

并不是 bìng bùshì not

不仅仅是 bùjǐn jǐn shì not just

不是 bùshì not

不只是 bù zhǐshì not just

才是 cái shì is

大多是 dàduō shì mostly

但是 dànshì but

倒是 dǎoshì it is

都是 dōu shì all

而是 ér shì but

凡是 fánshì all

更是 gèng shì even more

还是 háishì nevertheless; or; prefer; still

何尝不是 hécháng bùshì why not?

或是 huò shì or

既是 jìshì both

尽是 jìn shì all right

竟是 jìng shì actually

就是 jiùshì is not it

就是说 jiùshì shuō that is

可不是 kě bùshì not

可是 kěshì but

可以说是 kěyǐ shuō shì you could say so

口是心非 kǒushìxīnfēi mouth is not

老是 lǎo shì always

愣是 lèng shì oh yes

乃是 nǎi shì is

怕是 pà shì afraid of

仍是 réng shì still

如是 rúshì if

若是 ruòshì if

什么是 shénme shì what is

实在是 shízài shì it is really

是啊 shìa yea

是不是 shì bùshì isn't it

是的 shì de yes

是非 shìfēi right and wrong

是否 shìfǒu whether

是口 shìkǒu vocalized

是是 shì shì yes yes

算是 suànshì be counted

虽是 suī shì although it is

特别是 tèbié shì especially

物是人非 wù shì rén fēi object is human

先是 xiānshi first

要不是 yào bùshì if not

要是 yàoshi if

也就是 yě jiùshì that is

也就是说 yě jiùshì shuō that is

已是 yǐ shì already

硬是 yìngshì hard; obstinately

尤其是 yóuqí shì especially

有的是 yǒudeshì some are

于是 yúshì then; thereupon; whereupon

于是乎 yúshì hū ever since

真是 zhēnshi really

真是的 zhēnshi de really

正是 zhèng shì it is

只是 zhǐshì just; merely

自以为是 zìyǐwéishì opinionated

总是 zǒngshì always; invariably

最好是 zuì hǎo shì best is
