More on とか

When used with nouns, とか is similar to や in that it can express a non-exhaustive list of things. However, とか can be used with both single items and verb phrases, while や cannot.

In addition, if とか is used to list two or more items, it is mandatory to place it after each item. The only exception is that it can be dropped if the final item is followed by a particle.
