In both Brazilian and American English contexts, 'examples' are frequently used in educational settings and formal communication. In Brazil, examples are often referred to as 'exemplos' in academic and professional discourse, while casual speech may use 'tipo' or 'por exemplo' (for example). Americans often use 'for example' or 'like' colloquially, whereas Brazilians tend to use 'por exemplo' or 'tipo' more formally.
