Usage notes
[edit]- Though slightly formal, the adjective is more common than the underlying noun Exempel. There is perhaps a tendency to use beispielhaft more for “exemplary” in the sense of “ideal, prototypical”, and to use exemplarisch more for the sense “named as an example” (as above). However, both adjectives can be used in both senses.
