Grammar detail: 例の〜
例の〜 - that (thing), that (person)
Tweet
My current mastery of this grammar:
例の
+ noun
means that (thing), that (person) etc
This construction is used to refer to a thing or a person without actually naming it. In English the translation might be just 'that', or something such as 'what-d'you-call-it' or 'what's-its name' or 'thingamajig' etc. depending on context. It can be used to hide the identity of something, to refer to something you've forgotten the name of, or just to refer back to a topic from a prior conversation.
