1. It is used to mention some representative (actions or situations) out of many. Usually two actions or situations are mentioned in parallel, but there are cases in which three or only one are mentioned.



日曜日(にちようび)は掃除(そうじ)をしたり、料理(りょうり)をしたりします。

On Sundays, I clean and cook etc.


銀座(ぎんざ)で映画(えいが)を見(み)たり、買い物(かいもの)をしたり、ご飯(はん)を食(た)べたりします。

I watch movie, go shopping, eat food etc. at Ginza.


休(やす)みの日(ひ)は家(いえ)でゲームをしたりします。

On my days off, I play games etc. at home.


2. It is used when two opposite meanings are used. It indicates that the actions or situations repeat alternately many times. As opposite things repeat, it also indicates that the situation is not stable.


あの人(ひと)はここを行(い)ったり、来(き)たりしています。

That person keeps on going and coming here.


日曜日(にちようび)は暇(ひま)だったり、忙(いそが)しかったりします。

On Sundays, sometimes I'm free and sometimes I'm busy.


電気(でんき)がついたり、消(き)えたりします。

The electricity keeps on turning on and off.


最近(さいきん)の天気(てんき)は良(よ)かったり、悪(わる)かったりします。

These days, sometimes the weatheris good and sometimes bad.
