Usage notes
- Use esibire for formal showing: documents, ID, proof, or a performance. For everyday showing, mostrare is more common.
- In speech, esibire can sound elevated or bureaucratic. With body parts or emotions, ostentare or mostrare often fits better.
- It usually takes avere in compound tenses: ha esibito il passaporto. Reflexive esibirsi means to perform, a different verb pattern.
