The abbreviation i.e. comes from a Latin phrase that means "that is to say" or "specifically." This shouldn't be confused with e.g., which means "for example." Use i.e. when clarifying a statement and use e.g. when listing examples.
Examples:
"My favorite animals are all mammals, i.e. fluffy warm things that are good for snuggling!"
"I like to read fantasy novels, e.g. The Lord of the Rings, A Game of Thrones, and The Wheel of Time."
