日本語のおしゃべり

Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

The tari form of a verb (formed by adding ri to the ta form) is used repeatedly within a sentence, with the final occurrence accompanied by the verb suru ("do"), to express a number of alternative or indefinite actions in no particular sequence. A sentence with this pattern means, in essence, "do such things as ..."

Examples:
彼はゆうべバーで飲んだり、食べたり、歌ったりした。
Kare wa yūbe bā de nondari, tabetari, utattari shita.
Last night at the bar, they did things like drink, eat, and sing.

和田さんは週末に車を洗ったり、芝生を刈ったりします。
Wada-san wa shūmatsu ni kuruma o arattari, shibafu o kattari shimasu.
On the weekends, Mr. Wada does things like wash his car and mow the lawn.

リサは東京で日本映画を見たり、美術館へ行ったりした。
Risa wa Tōkyō de Nihon eiga o mitari, bijutsukan e ittari shita.
In Tokyo, Lisa watched Japanese movies and went to art museums (and did other things there too).

Hope this helps!
