Oh why use だり in this case? Thot だりis used for like more activities?

 

[dimitri_can]

Actually the question itself is quite vague.... lol
If u use て-form for this, it has a meaning of continuation (after doing action 1, do action 2), but i didn't say "after", so you can't really use て-form in this sense. so the more appropriate form here would be たり、たりします。

You are right about the たり、たりします。 What is your understanding of this grammar? =)

 

[dimitri_can]

Just another sharing, since i heard from my new student saying that a particular language school teacher saying that the below 2 sentences, meaning is the same. They are actually different in nuance.

1) このかばんは　私のです。

2) これは　私のかばんです。

たり is like you are only picking up to 3 out of the many activities that took place during the day in no particular order. Like someone asked wat u do today... N u are like maybe read, swim, sleep, go shopping, watch movie, meet up with frens etc... So instd of stating evrything u jus choose 3 of them n use たリ. Hope i m explaining correctly

 

[dimitri_can]

Mostly correct. Can be 2-3 actions.

Yes, the meaning is the same but different in nuance.
from the 2 sentences, it should be in the beginner level.
in this level, different nuances are not being taught.

 

[dimitri_can]

unfortunately, yes... if teachers would teach this, i think it will benefit the students more.

 

[unfinished07]

but not in beginners lah, nuances are taught much later.
teaching that in beginners level is too confusing for the students.

 

[dimitri_can]

to each its own. unfinished san, u ikoma student from beginner right?

 

[unfinished07]

yeah. ikoma from beginner, all the way

 

[mSnooze]

can Ikoma or bunka use PSEA account to pay for their lessons?

 

[dimitri_can]

no. dont think so.
