といった

Things like/Such as
Noun + といった + Noun

といった means “Things like” its basically another way to say のような or など*
Unlike など however, it can only be used at the end of a list. Additionally it must connect directly to a noun. 

It is most commonly used alone, but it may be used with other inexhaustive list particles like など, や, and sometimes とか. 

Examples

  • トマトリンゴといった果物を食べた*
    Ate fruit like tomatoes or apples. 

  • 彼はバスケットボールといったスポーツが好きだ
    He likes sports like basketball. 
  • アイスクリームドーナツといったお菓子は控えたほうがいい
    You should refrain from sweets such as ice cream or donuts. 

*Fun fact: Japanese people tend to vehemently deny that a tomato is a fruit. Tomatoes are botanically fruits, but vegetables for culinary and nutritional purposes.

Number or Degree + といったところ
