The "r" is usually a completely optional particle for sound purposes. People seem to think it sounds better.
了 is also a particle too, at the end of a sentence. Kinda like 把.
Eugh...儿 is the ugliest word ever in Mandarin imo, and only used by Beijing people. Seriously, iono how people pronounce stuff like 空儿 (sounds like Corn apparently)... It's nice in Cantonese (yi) and it's used in Names like 容祖儿 f3.
