Japanese

<p>
	We’ve previously looked at connecting clauses with the <strong>て-form</strong>,
	for example: <strong><ruby>手teを洗araって食taべてください。</ruby></strong>
	The <strong>て-form</strong> implies that the things mentioned are the only things involved.
</p>

<p>
	
	If you want to imply that there are other things as well, we can use the suffix <strong>〜たり</strong>.
	It is constructed in the same way as the <strong>て-form</strong>,
	so the only thing we need to do is replace <strong>〜て</strong> with <strong>〜たり</strong>.
</p>  

<table class="ui celled definition table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>Plain form</td>
            <td><ruby>食ta</ruby>べる</td>
			<td><ruby>飲no</ruby>む</td>
			<td>する</td>
			<td><ruby>行i</ruby>く</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
			<td>て-form</td>
            <td><ruby>食ta</ruby>べて</td>
            <td><ruby>飲no</ruby>んで</td>
			<td>して</td>
			<td><ruby>行i</ruby>って</td>
        </tr>
		<tr>
			<td>たり-form</td>
            <td><ruby>食ta</ruby>べたり</td>
            <td><ruby>飲no</ruby>んだり</td>
			<td>したり</td>
			<td><ruby>行i</ruby>ったり</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	A verb in the <strong>たり-form</strong> is used in combination with the verb <strong>する</strong> to make sentences.
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="266714"></tr>
		<tr data-item="266717"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	We can change the tense of the sentence by changing the tense of the <strong>する</strong> verb.
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="266716"></tr>
		<tr data-item="266721"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	<strong>〜たり</strong> can also be used with nouns and adjectives in the following ways:
</p>

<table class="ui celled definition table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Verbs</td>
            <td>Verb + たり</td>
			<td>する</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Nouns</td>
            <td>Noun + だったり</td>
			<td>です・だ</td>
        </tr>
		<tr>
            <td>い-adjectives</td>
			<td>い-adjective + <s>い</s>かったり</td>
			<td>です・だ</td>
        </tr>
		<tr>
            <td>な-adjectives</td>
            <td>な-adjective + だったり</td>
			<td>です・だ</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
