How it's used
Focuses on the revelation of internal qualities, emotions, or hidden traits that become visible through external actions or expressions. It carries a slightly more formal or literary weight compared to everyday verbs like 畀人睇 or 表現出嚟. It is frequently used when discussing how someone's character or true feelings are brought to light by specific events or circumstances.
Examples
Her smile shows that she is very happy.
How do you show your sincerity?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 表現, which is more about performing or acting in a certain way. 顯出 implies that something previously hidden or internal is now being made apparent, whereas 表現 is often used for active behavior or performance.
