How to Use It

Notas de uso

The word is neutral in terms of register, fitting both casual and formal settings. It is essentially a transition word used to bridge a general statement and a specific instance. Always pair it with a concrete noun or scenario to maximize clarity.

Erros comuns

Beginners often forget to add 'など' at the end of the example. Another mistake is using it to start every single sentence, which makes the text sound repetitive. Remember to vary your transition words.

Tips

💡

Use with 'など' for natural flow

Adding 'など' (etc.) at the end of your example makes the sentence sound much more natural and complete.

⚠️

Avoid overusing in one paragraph

Using '例えば' too many times in one paragraph can make your writing repetitive. Try varying your transitions.

🌍

Politeness in explanation

In Japanese culture, giving examples is seen as a way to show consideration for the listener's understanding.

Origem da palavra

Derived from the verb '例える' (tatoeru), meaning 'to compare' or 'to liken'. It evolved into an adverbial form to serve as a standard way to introduce comparisons or instances.

Contexto cultural

In Japanese communication, providing examples is considered a sign of politeness as it ensures the listener is not left confused. It reflects the high-context nature of the language where clarity is valued.

Dica de memorização

Think of 'Tatoeba' as 'That-to-be-a' (that is to be an example). It helps to visualize the word as a bridge to a concrete item.
