"for example": (比方说／例如／譬如／举例来说）：比如？ 你好， 我的语法的书说：in order to say "for example", it says you can use the following words: (比方说／例如／譬如／举例来说). It also notes that 譬如 is used in more formal contexts. However, it fails to mention 比如。is 比如 equivalent to these other phrases? Why do you think the author of the grammar book chose not to include it? Is it uncommon? 谢谢！
