例えば

About

例たとえば ("for example...") is used to list an inexhaustive (i.e. not complete) list of examples, and may be used in casual, as well as formal speech. 例たとえば is often written in kana only.

When using 例たとえば, the speaker must first establish a topic, because otherwise, their examples have no context.

It is common to use 例たとえば in conjunction with other grammatical "list" markers such as とか, or the more formal や〜など.
