EP92: Tari Tari Shimasu | Japanese Grammar

Today, we’re taking a closer look at a very useful Japanese grammar pattern:

〜たり〜たりします (tari tari shimasu)

This pattern is often used when you want to give examples of things you do, such as:

Koohii o nondari, nyuusu o mitari shimasu.
I drink coffee, watch the news, and things like that.

Kaimono ni ittari, ie de yukkuri shitari shimasu.
I go shopping, relax at home, and things like that.

In this episode, I’ll explain how to make the tari form from the ta-form, and then we’ll practice lots of natural examples from everyday life.

You’ll hear examples about daily routines, weekends, work, travel, family, and more.

If you’re learning Japanese, this is a really useful pattern to add to your everyday Japanese!
