AS SUFFIX (goods):

  • 食品(しょくひん) (food products)
  • 商品(しょうひん) (merchandise)
  • 製品(せいひん) (manufactured goods)
  • 部品(ぶひん) (parts, components)
  • 作品(さくひん) (work, creation)

AS STANDALONE (elegance):

  • (ひん)がある (to have refinement)
  • (ひん)がいい (refined, classy)
  • (ひん)がない (lacking refinement, vulgar)
  • (ひん)()とす (to lower one's dignity)

NOTE:

  • When read as しな, it typically means "item, article" in a more concrete sense
