I'm trying to learn kanji through flashcards - Turtle Kanji cards, each kanji accompanied by four typical words that contain that kanji. Usually, I also check every word in electronic dictionary, so I could understand its meaning through examples. However some "common" words have one or none example of usage. 明細 is example of such word, could somebody enlighten me with relatively meaningful sentence that uses meisai ?
Thanks in advance :)
明細は何と言う意味ですか?

Mandor-san Konnichiwa!
明細(めいさい)MEISAI means "details, specifics, particulars" and is often used in Business/Formal situations.
The adjective 明細な(めいさいな)is also used, meaning "detailed".
For example:
明細書(めいさいしょ)MEISAISHO means "detailed statement"
Let's suppose you are in a business meeting and someone says:
このプロジェクトの明細は後でお知らせします。(Kono purojekuto no MEISAI wa ato de oshirase shimasu.)
Meaning "I will give you details about this project later."
