📚 Etymology▼
Comes from the Late Latin verb *identificare*, which is a combination of the Latin word *idem* (meaning 'the same') and the verb suffix *-ficare* (meaning 'to make'). The original sense is 'to make something the same' or 'to establish sameness,' leading to the modern meaning of proving who or what something is.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to change the ending of 'identificado'?
You only change the ending (to -a, -os, or -as) when it is acting as an adjective describing a noun, like 'la casa identificada' (the identified house). If it follows the verb 'haber' (he, has, hemos, etc.), it always stays 'identificado'.
