This word is different from "toriaezu." "Toriaezu" means "for now." You can use it in many situations. "Torima" is much more casual. It is only for friends. It can sound a bit careless. It is more informal than other short words like "a-ne."
Don't use this when you talk to your boss. It is for talking with friends. It is not for formal places. People might think you are childish.
Use this when you want to move the conversation forward. You use it when a final decision is not needed yet. It means you will do something temporary first.
