Since both i.e. and e.g. both come from the Latin id est and exempli gratia, respectively, does Esperanto use the same abbreviations? If not, then what are the Esperanto abbreviations?

Esperanto has its own abbreviations for these:

i.e.t.e. = tio estas

e.g.ekz. = ekzemple

Another very common one is:

etcktp = kaj tiel plu

There’s a nice list in PMEG.

En Esperanto oni uzas "t.e." (por "tio estas") anstataŭ "i.e.", kaj "ekz" (por "ekzemple") anstataŭ "e.g.".
