Latin expressions

Et alii (et al.)
"And others" — used to abbreviate a list of names (Alii is actually masculine, so it can be used for men, or mixed men and women; the feminine et aliae is appropriate when the "others" are all female.)

Exempli gratia (e.g.)
"For the sake of example", "for example."

Id est (i.e.)
"That is" — or sometimes "in this case," depending on the context. E.g., When celebrating this holiday (i.e. Christmas), hang a wreath on your door.
