Exactly the same in every detail
Exactly the same as something else, with no difference you can see or measure.
사용 패턴：
[something] is identical to [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes use *very identical*, but *identical* already means completely the same, so *very* is usually unnecessary. Use *almost identical* or *nearly identical* if there is a very small difference. Learners may also confuse *identical* with *similar*: *identical* means there is no real difference, while *similar* means they are alike but not the same.
