Episode Synopsis
The common English phrases for giving an example are “For example” and “For instance.” But if you want a shorter version, what should you use?
The most common abbreviation is “e.g.” Interestingly, the “g” in “e.g.” comes from its Latin origin, exempli gratia, rather than being the initial of an English word.
In contrast, Japanese speakers often use “ex.” as an abbreviation for “example,” which makes sense since “ex.” directly comes from “example.” However, this usage isn’t very common in the U.S.
