Hello,

I'd like to know if the word "sample" can be used as a synonym of "example"?
The two words have the same origin but can they have the same signification?

Thank you.

@milimi,
Used as a noun, sometimes a sample is an example, e.g. a manufacturing sample, however there are other meanings of sample and example which are not synonymous.

@milimi,
Their defs share some similarities but Mili they're not synonyms by any means
