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.

On Sundays, I clean and cook etc.

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.

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。
