*Use this grammar for bits of news that you heard or read.
FORMATION: V(plain form) + とか いA + とか なA・N + とか

For the case of a noun with toka, you actually need だ、it`s shown in the 3rd example below
N+だ〜とか 金持ちだとか (I heard he was rich)
Mahou86
The usage given in the formation section for なA・N does not match that of the example of ex #6262, which suggests that instead of: なA・N + とか it should instead be なA・N + だ+とか

I checked and confirmed with a native speaker that when using this grammar after なA・N that the formation is indeed なA・N+だとか.
Additionally, this is found mainly in novels, whereas a conversational equivalent would be と聞いた・と聞きました.

I just know とか with the meaning of 'like'. Or is it the same thing?
