Using "per se" makes you sound magnificent and it is very romantic. I would love to use this extraordinary phrase, but I do not know how to use it. So I need sentences!! q(q_p)q

"per se" is in Latin, there are quite a few words from Latin in the English and French languages. "per se" means: by, of, or in itself: as such.
So I will use it in phrases for you:
It wasn't anyone's fault, per se.
I couldn't use my university education for a job, per se, but I always found uses for it in my life.
Being a single mother, it is quite difficult to raise children on your own, per se, without a man or husband around to enforce discipline. Lets face it kids are not intimidated by their mothers, and rarely do what the mother asks, as a single mother, per se. However it is a very different atmosphere if there is a mother and father in the family with the kids. The mother doesn't have such a bad time, per se, and is protected by her husband, and the rules are enforced by the husband.

Money per se is not evil, but the way it is utilized may be. Per se is the Latin expression for intrinsically or "in itself".

"per se" is not per se a magnificent phrase, its excellence only arises when wittily applied.

it's not exactly 'what' you do, per se, that makes you romantic, it's the way you do it! :) good luck! :)
