Ni hao Benny xian sheng? Xie xie nide bang zhu!

I need some help again. Are you ready?

I want to know how to say: id or identification card in mandarin.

Also, how do I say “to identify something or someone”?

Could you write the pin yin and the characters?

Xie xie!!!

Sorry, I need to be a little more precise.

To identify:

Can you identify the person who attacked you?

I can identify Chinese people from Japanese people.

To distinguish:

Can you distinguish Chinese people from Japanese people?

Xie xie!

Sorry again forgot some stuff!

Identity as self identity.
Japanese people have no identity they all follow the same trend and fashion. There’s no individuality.

Identity as in official or government identity.
My identity was stolen. Crooks stole money and used my identity to fraud people.

Dui bu qi Benny xian sheng!!

Hi Sara,

Id card = 身份证 shēn fèn zhèng

Identify = 认出 rèn chū

Distinguish = 区分 qū fēn
