たりamd だりform(How and when to use it)

The "-tari" form in Japanese is used to list multiple actions or states. It's similar to saying "do such things as A and B" in English.

How to form "-tari"

 * Find the "ru" form of the verb.

   * Example: "taberu" (to eat)

 * Remove the "ru" and add "tari".

   * Example: "taberu" → "tabe" + "tari" = "taberu"

How to use "-tari"

 * List multiple actions:

   * "音楽を聴いたり、本を読んだりします。" (Ongaku o kiitari, hon o yondari shimasu.) - "I do such things as listen to music and read books."

 * Describe a variety of experiences:

   * "旅行では、美味しいものを食べたり、美しい景色を見たりしました。" (Ryokō de wa, oishii mono o tabetari, utsukushii keshiki o mitari shimashita.) - "During the trip, I did such things as eat delicious food and see beautiful scenery."

Important Notes:

 * Last verb: The last verb in the list is usually not followed by "-tari." It's often connected to the rest of the sentence using a verb like "suru" (to do), "desu" (to be), or "shimasu" (polite form of "suru").

 * Emphasis on variety: "-tari" emphasizes that the listed actions are just a few examples among many.

"Dari"

"Dari" is not a separate grammatical form. It's simply the ending of the "-tari" form.
