How it's used

Primarily used in legal or investigative contexts, this term refers specifically to physical items rather than abstract proof. It is frequently heard in police dramas or news reports regarding criminal cases. Unlike the more general term 證據, which can refer to verbal testimony or documents, 證物 implies a tangible object that has been collected and processed.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 證據, but remember that 證物 must be a physical object that can be held or examined, whereas 證據 is a broader concept that includes non physical proof.
