About たとえば

たとえば (or (たと)えば in its kanji form) is an adverb in Japanese that is used at the beginning of a sentence, or an individual statement, in order to present an example. It can be translated almost directly as 'for example'.

Fun Fact

(たと)えば should primarily be used when the 'example' that is being given is as simple as possible. If you want to explain something in further (in-depth) detail, (くわ)しく 'in full' would be used as the adverb instead.

Examples

--:--

    たとえば、「英語(えいご)()です。」()てみたら

    For example, why don't you ask 'Do you like English?'

    たとえば翻訳者(ほんやくしゃ)になったら日本(にほん)()ことが出来(でき)

    For example, if you become a translator, you will be able to live in Japan.
