やら～やら (JLPT N2)

À propos de やら～やら

Français

Japonais

やら is an adverbial particle in Japanese which expresses lack of determination or limitation in regard to (A). Due to this, it is very similar to other structures like など, and will often translate as '(A) and so on', or '(A) and the like'.

やら may appear following verbs in their dictionary form, nouns, い-Adjectives, or な-Adjectives. When repeated as (A) やら (B) やら, both (A) and (B) will often be the same type of word, although this is not a limitation when the speaker is expressing various feelings in relation to something.

Compared to とか, やら puts more emphasis on the scope of things within the category of (A) and (B), thus making it sound like (A) and (B) are only a small fraction of many different things within a complex pool of various emotions, actions, etc.

Caution

When appearing as のやら～のやら, this emphasizes that the speaker does not actually know which one out of (A) and (B) is the correct option, and is just presenting both as potential possibilities. Due to this, (A) and (B) will often be antonyms or opposites of some sort in these types of sentences, but not always.

Does the usage/nuance of やら～やら change at all when the sentence only involves one やら? Does it function similar to など?

Also, is the difference between やら～やら and とか～とか that とか involves items the listener knows isn’t exhaustive whereas やら doesn’t do this? A little confusing, so many seemingly similar points involved

やら does not change nuance even if it only involves one やら. やら～やら is also used for exhaustive lists. The main difference between やら and とか is that とか does not have any emotion attached to the list. However, やら can sometimes have a very slight nuance of annoyance.

毎晩のように隣の部屋から、音楽とか怒鳴り声が聞こえてくる。
Almost every night, I can hear things such as music and yelling from the apartment next door. This sentence has not emotion attached to it and sounds like the speaker is laying out facts.
