Definition
认可 (rènkě) means to recognize as valid or to approve, often used for certificates, achievements, or someone's efforts being accepted by a group or authority. It differs from 承认 (chéngrèn 'to admit, to acknowledge'), which is broader and includes admitting mistakes or truths; and from 认同 (rèntóng 'to endorse, to identify with'), which involves personal agreement or alignment with values.
