هو يبرز بطاقة الهوية.

Yes, it can. Arabic often drops subject pronouns because the verb already shows the person.

• يبرز already means he shows / he presents
• So يبرز بطاقة الهوية is a complete sentence

Adding هو can:

• make the subject extra clear
• add slight emphasis
• help in teaching or careful written style

So both are possible, but هو يبرز بطاقة الهوية explicitly says he.

يبرز is a present-tense verb meaning he shows, he presents, or he displays in this context.

With full vowel marks, it is usually read as يُبْرِزُ.

This is:

• present/future tense
• third person masculine singular
• so it means he shows / he is showing / he will show, depending on context

Arabic present tense often covers both simple present and present progressive in English.

Arabic verbs often have a range of meanings depending on context. In this sentence, because the object is بطاقة الهوية (identity card / ID card), the natural meaning is:

• he shows
• he presents
• he produces his ID card

So the object helps determine the most natural English meaning.

Literally, it is:

• بطاقة = card
• الهوية = the identity

So بطاقة الهوية literally means card of identity, which is the normal Arabic way to say identity card or ID card.

This is a very common Arabic structure.

This is because بطاقة الهوية is an iḍāfa construction, often called a genitive construction or noun-noun possession structure.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun usually does not take ال
• the second noun can make the whole phrase definite

So:

• بطاقة هوية = an identity card
• بطاقة الهوية = the identity card / identity card

Because الهوية is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite.

The iḍāfa here is:

• بطاقة الهوية

It links two nouns together, often like:

• X of Y
• or an English compound noun

So this phrase is literally:

• card of the identity

But in normal English we say:

• identity card
• ID card

In Arabic, the first noun in an iḍāfa is followed directly by the second noun, with no word for of.

In an iḍāfa construction, the second noun is grammatically genitive.

So in fully vocalized Arabic, this would be:

• بِطَاقَةَ الْهُوِيَّةِ

Notice the ending on الهويةِ. It is genitive because it is the second part of the iḍāfa.

Even when short vowels are not written, the grammatical relationship is still there.

Yes. The whole phrase بطاقة الهوية is the direct object of يبرز.

He is showing what?

• بطاقة الهوية

So the full object is not just بطاقة, but the entire iḍāfa phrase:

• بطاقة الهوية

In full case endings, the first noun would be accusative because the whole phrase is the direct object:

• بِطَاقَةَ while
• الْهُوِيَّةِ stays genitive because it is the second term of the iḍāfa

A common pronunciation is:

• biṭāqat al-huwiyya

If you pronounce full grammatical endings very carefully, it would be:

• biṭāqata l-huwiyyati in connected formal reading

But in normal learning and everyday pronunciation of unvocalized MSA, biṭāqat al-huwiyya is a very helpful way to say it.

Because بطاقة ends in ـة (tāʾ marbūṭa).

When a word ending in ـة is:

• paused on by itself, it often sounds like -a
• connected to another word in a construction like iḍāfa, the t sound is heard

So:

• by itself: biṭāqa
• in iḍāfa: biṭāqat al-huwiyya

That is why learners often hear the t in phrases like this.

Arabic allows more than one word order.

Two common possibilities are:

• هو يبرز بطاقة الهوية
• يبرز هو بطاقة الهوية or simply يبرز بطاقة الهوية

In MSA, verb-first order is very common, but subject-first order is also possible, especially when:

• the subject is being highlighted
• the sentence is presented clearly in teaching or writing
• the style is more nominal at the start

So this sentence is perfectly normal, even if verb-first is also common.

Yes. In natural English, it can be translated as:

• identity card
• ID card

Both are good translations. The Arabic phrase is standard and commonly used for official identification.

الهوية means identity.

For a learner, the important point is simply that:

• هوية = identity
• بطاقة الهوية = identity card

You may notice that هوية looks similar to هو in writing, but here it is a noun meaning identity, not the pronoun he.

Yes, depending on context, English may naturally say his ID card, even though Arabic does not explicitly say his here.

The Arabic sentence only says:

• he shows/presents the identity card

But in real situations, if he is the person showing it, English often interprets that as:

• he presents his ID card

If Arabic wanted to say his identity card explicitly, it could say:

• بطاقة هويته

So the original sentence does not explicitly include his, but context may strongly suggest it.

In fully vocalized formal Arabic, the sentence would typically be:

• هُوَ يُبْرِزُ بِطَاقَةَ الْهُوِيَّةِ

Here is the grammar:

• هُوَ = subject pronoun
• يُبْرِزُ = present tense verb, ending in -u
• بِطَاقَةَ = accusative, because it is the direct object
• الْهُوِيَّةِ = genitive, because it is the second noun in the iḍāfa

In ordinary Arabic writing, these short vowels are usually omitted.
