Is i.g. means “for example”?

I can’t remember it exactly. It seems it’s like “i.g”, or whatever, means “for example”, especially in scholastic works?

No.

It is “e.g.”, an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, “for the sake of example”.

It is NOT “i.e.”, which means “that is,” which is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase id est.

The five answers below me all have it wrong.

Nope, not ig, but ie. It means: Id Est

Directly translated, it means “It is” or “That is”.

Generally, it’s used to mean “That is to say” or “for example”.

‘for example’ is e.g. (from Welsh ‘er gratos’)

Like ‘it is’ or ‘that is to say’ is i.e. (from Welsh ‘id est’)
