so good it should be copied
Very good and used as an example that other people should follow.
Kullanım kalıbı:
exemplary [behavior/performance/service/leadership]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes think "exemplary" only means "good". It usually means "so good that it can be an example for others," which is stronger than just "good" or even "very good" in many contexts.

deterrent (Focuses on the effect of stopping others from acting; can be a noun or adjective.)
|
punitive (Emphasizes the harsh, strongly punishing nature, not always specifically to set an example.)

clearly showing a type or pattern
Showing very clearly what something is like, so it can be used as a good example of that thing or situation.
Kullanım kalıbı:
an exemplary [case/example/instance/model] of [something]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners may assume this sense always implies strong praise, like sense 1. In academic or analytical writing, "exemplary" can simply mean that something shows the pattern clearly, even if the thing itself is not morally or qualitatively "good."
Eş anlamlılar
illustrative (Highlights that something helps explain or show a point clearly, without the strong positive value of "exemplary" in sense 1.)
|
representative (Focuses on being typical of a group or type, not necessarily especially good.)
Zıt anlamlılar
atypical (Describes something that does not match the usual pattern or type.)
|
unrepresentative (Shows that something does not give a true picture of the group or type.)
