* Example tenpai hand:
:{{#mjt:34567p333m678s44z}}
:{{#mjt:34567p333m678s44z}}  Waiting for: {{#mjt:2p}} - {{#mjt:5p}}, or {{#mjt:8p}}


This example hand is a ''tenpai'' hand waiting for a {{#mjt:2p}} - {{#mjt:5p}}, or {{#mjt:8p}}. If any of these tiles are in the player's discard pile, then the player cannot claim ''ron''. A player can get out of ''furiten'' by changing the hand composition.
This example hand is a ''tenpai'' hand waiting three tiles . If any of those tiles are in the player's discard pile, then the player cannot claim ''ron''. A player can get out of ''furiten'' by changing the hand composition.


A player may also become ''temporarily furiten'' when the player declines calling ''ron'', including when the player has zero ''yaku''. The temporary state ends after the player's next draw.<!--some sources say the state lasts one go-around, with interruptions ending the go-around/temporary furiten--> For some game situations, it may actually be beneficial not to declare ''ron'' on a discard in favor of increasing hand value, for example.
