<p>Do you need English translations? If not, try the search function on Weibo ( <a href="http://www.weibo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.weibo.com</a> ); it has loads of real usage examples for any word you can imagine</p>

I think this is a very constructive question. Why are moderators always closing useful questions?

Iciba has a good [database of example sentences](http://dj.iciba.com/) (and the search for the examples is better than nciku's, which is sometimes frustrating).

Often when learning new words, I want to see them in context. It helps my learning process, and understanding how to properly use new vocab makes it stick in my mind that much more.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a site where I can enter a word, and it will give good example sentences based upon that word? [Nciku](http://nciku.com) seems to do it for some words, but it's not super complete, so I'd love some more suggestions.

Check out <http://tatoeba.org/>. Even though it's more focused in languages in general you can still find some Chinese sentences.

Apart from Jukuu.com as shown above I would suggest checking out the recently compiled [Leiden Weibo Corpus](http://lwc.daanvanesch.nl/) for colloquial online usages of terms.

Then there's also [Bing's Chinese dictionary](http://dict.bing.com.cn/) (originally called Engkoo) which is also good.
