How it's used

Focuses on the act of making information visible or explicit, often through labels, signs, or text. It carries a slightly formal or professional tone, making it common in retail, manufacturing, or administrative contexts rather than casual conversation. Use it when discussing whether something is clearly stated or identified for the public to see.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 寫明, which simply means to write something down clearly. 標明 implies a deliberate act of labeling or marking for identification, whereas 寫明 can refer to any clear written instruction or statement.
