I have no problems using the construction tari..tari shimasu in Japanese but I am not sure how to use it in more complex sentences. Could someone check the following sentences?
クラスでタバコをすったり,たべたりしては � �けません. こんどのしゅうまつ,にほんごをしたり,テレ ��をみたりするつもりです. On my computer the kana are not all displayed correctly. The squares should represent ikemasen in the first sentence and terebi in the second. Edited by stelingo on 18 October 2009 at 4:58pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You've almost got it perfect. The second sentence needs a better verb to go with にほんご. I assume you meant べ
んきょうしたり and forgot the べんきょう. One of my Japanese school textbooks (got it from a friend) categorizes -tari as giving an "example" of activity. Edited by Captain Haddock on 18 October 2009 at 6:01pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yes, I did. Thanks for the confirmation. Im using the textbook Genki and quite often there are too few examples given for a grammatical point, then you are expected to translate a phrase which is slightly more complex than the examples given.

When in need of example sentences, check out Space ALC. A search of the string "たりする" returns almost 1000 examples, without even getting into the possible conjugations for する. 1 person has voted this message useful |
