Usage notes
The honorific form of verbs expresses the social superiority of the subject of the sentence to the speaker. As applied to adjectives, it expresses the relationship between the modified noun and the speaker.
The honorific form is constructed by appending 시 (si) to the sequential form of a verb or an adjective.
