Sanaesimerkki

Sanaesimerkki, also known as a sample sentence or example sentence, is a linguistic term referring to a sentence that demonstrates the correct usage of a word or phrase. It is commonly used in language learning, dictionaries, and grammar explanations to provide context and clarify meaning. Sanaesimerkki can be found in various forms, such as simple sentences, complex sentences, or even idiomatic expressions. They are particularly useful for learners of a second language, as they help to illustrate how a word fits into a sentence structure and how it is used in different contexts. For example, the Finnish word "kissa" (cat) can be demonstrated with the sanaesimerkki: "Minun kissa on musta" (My cat is black). This sentence not only provides a basic example of the word "kissa" but also introduces the verb "olla" (to be) and the adjective "musta" (black). Sanaesimerkki can also be used to show the difference between similar words or to explain grammatical concepts. For instance, the sentence "Hän meni kauppaan" (He went to the store) can be contrasted with "Hän meni kauppaan" (He went to the market) to illustrate the difference between the Finnish words "kauppa" (store) and "markkinat" (market). In educational settings, sanaesimerkki are often used in textbooks, worksheets, and online resources to aid in language acquisition and comprehension. They serve as a practical tool for both teachers and students, helping to reinforce learning and provide clear examples of language use.
