For Example
Dalam bahasan tentang perbedaan for example dan such as ini, pertama-tama kita akan
membahas yang paling umum, yaitu for example.

Jika diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia, for example berarti “sebagai contoh”. Ada


beberapa aturan dalam menggunakan frasa for example, yaitu:

For example bisa untuk menyebutkan macam-macam benda satu kategori

Fungsi utama for example adalah menyebutkan macam-macam benda yang termasuk dalam
satu kategori. Setelah for example, bendanya bisa disebutkan langsung, bisa juga diberi
tambahan penjelasan.

Example:

for example + noun


 There are so many fruits with red color; for example strawberry, apple, guava, red
grape, pomegranate, etc.
 Hollywood Walk of Fame has been recording phenomenal public figures, for
example, Tom Cruise, Christina Aguilera, Muhammad Ali, Simon Cowell, etc.

for example + complement + noun

 Not all mammals live on the land, some of them live in the sea, for example, they
are whale, dolphin, and dugong
 Even if we’re undergoing the 4.0 Era, not all jobs could be done by robots, for
example, they are content writer, data analyst, and UI/UX designer

For example bisa untuk menyebutkan contoh benda satu saja, yang bisa
mewakili penjelasan sebelumnya

For example juga bisa digunakan jika contoh yang dimaksud cuma satu saja.

Example:

 There are many things we could do to prevent global warming, for


example by reducing paper usage
 There are many fruits and vegetables could be carbohydrate sources, for example, the
potato, who’s called as the best rice alternative

For example bisa digunakan untuk mengawali kalimat

For example bisa digunakan untuk memulai kalimat baru, terpisah dari kalimat yang
dijelaskannya.

Example:

 We can do many things to show our love for this beautiful country. For example, by
keeping our environment clean, recycling our waste, and paying taxes regularly
 You’ve done too many faults to her. For example, by dumping her, not trying to
become a good man, and so on.

For example tidak bisa memisahkan klausa

Aturan penggunaan for example yang terakhir adalah for example tidak bisa memisahkan


klausa. Tidak seperti such as, for example tidak bisa memisahkan kalimat yang memiliki satu
ide.

Supaya lebih paham, kamu bisa lihat perbandingan di bawah ini.

Example:
 We can buy any fruits for example apples, pears, bananas, and grapes to visit
Grandma this evening (SALAH)
 We can buy any fruits to visit Grandma this evening, for example apples, pears,
bananas, and grapes (BENAR)

Such As
Such as menurut bahasa Inggris artinya adalah “seperti”. Perbedaan such as dan for example
sebenarnya nggak signifikan. For example bisa digunakan dalam kondisi formal dan
informal, sedangkan such as banyak digunakan dalam kondisi informal.

Ada beberapa aturan penggunaan such as yang harus kamu pahami, berikut penjelasannya.

Such as bisa untuk menyebutkan macam-macam benda satu kategori

Sama seperti for example, such as bisa digunakan untuk macam-macam benda, tapi yang
berasal dari satu kategori.

Example:

 People today like to waste their money for pointless things, such as buying branded
product, change the gadgets every time the newer version be released, and consume
costy food that is actually could be bought far more cheaper
 There are many guys you can choose here, such as Max, Liam, Harry, Logan, there
are so many of them

Such as bisa untuk menyebutkan contoh benda satu saja, yang bisa
mewakili penjelasan sebelumnya

Aturan kedua penggunaan such as adalah untuk menyebutkan satu benda saja sebagai contoh.
For example sebenarnya bisa digunakan untuk menyebut satu benda, tapi penggunaannya
berbeda dengan such as.

Kalau contoh yang disebutkan satu, tidak perlu ada penyertaan koma sebelum atau sesudah
such as. Cukup langsung menyebutkan contohnya saja.

Example:

 Cold countries such as Iceland and Norway have the best aurora borealis shows
 Islam majority countries such as Syria have been facing serious domestic war

Such as tidak bisa digunakan untuk mengawali kalimat

Such as termasuk dalam conjunction words yang digunakan untuk menggabungkan dua
klausa.
Oleh sebab itulah, such as hanya bisa digunakan di tengah-tengah kalimat (di antara
dependent dan independent clause). Such as tidak bisa digunakan untuk mengawali kalimat
seperti for example.

Example:

 There are many ways the government can do to reduce flood in Jakarta. Such as
implementing better water management and protect wetlands (SALAH)
 There are many ways the government can do to reduce flood in Jakarta, such
as implementing better water management and protect wetlands (BENAR)

Such as bisa memisahkan klausa

Meski nggak bisa dijadikan pembuka kalimat, such as bisa lho digunakan untuk memisahkan
sebuah kalimat. Terutama untuk kalimat yang nggak bisa menggunakan kata for example di
dalamnya.

Supaya lebih paham gimana maksudnya kalimat yang tidak bisa menggunakan for example,
ini ada perbandingannya.

Example:

 Insects such as butterfly and ladybird are included as the most beautiful insects
(BENAR)
 Insects for example butterfly and ladybird are included as the most beautiful insects
(SALAH)
 Insects are included as the most beautiful insects, for example, butterfly and ladybird
(SALAH BESAR)
Using i.e. and e.g. correctly
I find that sometimes students are unsure about when to use the
abbreviations “i.e.” and “e.g.” and the difference between the two.

They are not interchangeable; each has its own meaning and usage.

The abbreviation “i.e.” stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is

.” The abbreviation “e.g.” stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia,
meaning “for example.”
Let’s consider a sentence that uses

“i.e.”: All employees will receive the standard discount; i.e., 20


percent. Because id est means “that is,” management is using “i.e.,
20 percent” to define the standard discount.

And because “i.e., 20 percent” forms an independent clause—a


complete sentence—we technically have created a compound
sentence: All employees will receive the standard discount; i.e., 20
percent.

So we use a semicolon to join the two independent clauses. Let’s


consider another one. One meal (i.e., breakfast) is included in the
price of the room. Here, “ i.e.” specifies that breakfast is the only
meal included.

Again, we have created an independent clause—i.e. breakfast—but


this time, it falls in the interior of the sentence. So technically, either
parentheses or dashes should surround it.

Now let’s look at a sentence using “e.g.”: Certain fur-bearing


mammals, e.g., nutria and otters, spend much of their lives in the
water.

Unlike “i.e.”—which is used to specify a particular meaning—“e.g.”


simply means “for example.” Style manuals vary on punctuation that
should used to enclose the “e.g.” phrase when it appears in the
interior of a sentence. Some state that it should appear only inside
parentheses; others state that commas may be used, provided that
what follows “e.g.”—as in our last example—does not constitute an
independent clause.
Here’s another one: There are some herbs that belong in every
kitchen garden (e.g., basil, rosemary, and oregano). Again, there may
be other herbs that are equally useful; those are simply three
examples.

When the “e.g.” passage falls at the end of the sentence, you can
either enclose it in parentheses or set it off with a comma before
“e.g.” But as before, if “e.g.” introduces an independent clause, use a
semicolon because it’s likely you’ve formed another compound
sentence.

The following would be an example: The beach closes when


conditions warrant it; e.g., a hurricane warning has been issued. In
modern American English, a comma should follow both e.g. and i.e.
And because they have both become so commonplace, it is
unnecessary to place the abbreviations in italics, even though they
are abbreviated Latin phrases
