À propos de とおり

Often, the noun とおり carries the meaning of 'in that way', or 'just like that'. In its kanji form, とおり will be written as (とお)り, and literally means 'street', or 'way'. However, it is regularly used to indicate the level of 'sameness' one thing has with another. This 'sameness' meaning appears when とおり is used as a suffix.

とおり (or どおり) may be used with verbs or nouns. In the case of verbs, it is common to see it being used after both the plain form, and the simple-past form.

Both どおり and のとおり may be used directly after nouns. However, とおり will only be used when the case marking particle の comes between the noun and とおり.

While both of these structures may be used interchangeably, どおり is more common, especially in speech.

Fun Fact

Constructions like ()った(とお)り and その(とお)り are used very frequently, simply as a polite way to agree with what has been said by another. In these cases, it translates similarly to 'that's exactly right', or 'that's it!'.

        Hi there! This sentence is really tripping me up:
        物事はいつも計画どおりにはいかないものだなぁ。

        Can someone walk me through what the には is doing? I guess I would’ve expected something more like 物事はいつも計画どおりいかないものだなぁ。

        Hi!

        Indeed, the role of には is a recurrent question, here is the grammar point on this particle combination. In this sentence, there is also the ものだ structure, a construction used to highlight information that is considered obvious.

        So, it would be like saying, literally, “Everybody knows that, in regard to things, they don’t always go according to plan”.

        Hi! I was going through Sou matome N3 page 55, and there there was a sentence 私が今から言うの通りに書いてください。I am wondering if it’s okay to use の after the verb. In the textbook it is marked as a correct one.
