Likely you heard it attached to a name: like "Mike Shi" (spelled 씨) in which case it's an honorific title akin to "Mr / Mrs" attached to the end of names (it can be attached to a first name as above).

[The people who believe 'Shi' means four are confusing the Japanese language with Korean. In Japanese four is either "Shi" or "Yon," but in KOREAN four is either 'Sa' or 'Net' )

there are several different translation,
i think you should examine the whole sentence,,

meaning may be:
o´clock (hour),
poem,
city,
Pshaw! (Huh!; Hmph!; Damn!; sound effect),
...shi (when someone say your name and say shi,
that is calling a person in formal form),


some people above said it means four, but actually it isnt.
but i know shi is four in japanese,,

if you remember the sentence you can send me the message,
and i'l translated for ya,,
