How are "i.e." and "e.g." pronounced? [closed]
How are i.e. and e.g. pronounced?
Solution 1:
i.e. stands for id est (Latin), which means "that is". You use it to link in a deeper explanation about something. Pronounce it "eye - ee".
e.g. stands for exempli gratia (also Latin), which means "for example". You use it to link in an example of a more generic term. Pronounce it "ee - jee"
Solution 2:
For i.e. I usually say "that is", occasionally "eye-ee".
For e.g. I always say "for example".
