For Example
For Instance, Supposing That
adverb
This has almost the same meaning as the kanji it comes from. Instead of just simply being "example," though, it's for example. It can also sometimes mean supposing that when talking about hypothetical scenarios. So, supposing that I start a sentence with this, I can be all like "例えば, I am using 例えば in a sentence."
たとえば
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you: Using all kinds of "for examples" like this, you were taught (たと) many things throughout your life. For example, you were taught about...
例えば、昔はすごく人気があったけど、今は落ちぶれてしまった人がいたとしましょう。
For example, let's say there was a person who used to be very popular but isn't at all anymore.
例えば、舌をかみそうになった時、コウイチなら何て言うと思う？
For instance, what do you think Koichi would say when he almost bit his tongue?
なぁ、さくらちゃん、例えば、週に一度や二度ぐらい、うちに来ないか？
Hey, Sakura, why don’t you come over to my house, like, once or twice a week or something?
