When listing nouns belonging to a certain category, 啊 (a) can be added to the end of each noun to give an informal feeling like "you know, that kind of thing".
- 椅子 啊，桌子 啊，电脑 啊 什么的 都 买 好 了，现在 办公室 只 差 员工 了！
- 我们 什么 零食 都 有，花生 啊，瓜子 啊，薯片 啊，你 随便 吃 吧。
- 发展 汉语 啊，新 使用 汉语 课本 啊，这 些 课本 我 都 学 过，没 用！
As in the first example, the list can be followed by 什么的 (etc.), but is not generally followed by 等 as this feels too formal.
