Questions & Answers about zairyuukaado to mainanbaakaado o miseru.

What does と mean here?

Here, と means and.

So:

• 在留カード と マイナンバーカード = a residence card and a My Number card

In this sentence, と connects two nouns in a complete list. It sounds like both items are included.

---

Why is there only one を after the second noun?

Because the two nouns are being treated as one combined object:

• 在留カード と マイナンバーカード を 見せる

This means show the residence card and the My Number card.

Japanese often puts the object marker を only once, after the whole noun phrase, instead of after each noun.

So this is natural:

• A と B を 見せる

Not usually:

• A を B を 見せる

---

What does 見せる mean, and how is it different from 見る?

見せる means to show.

It is related to 見る, which means to see / to look at.

• 見る = to see
• 見せる = to show

You can think of 見せる as something like to make someone see. So:

• カードを見る = to look at a card
• カードを見せる = to show a card

That is why 見せる is the correct verb here, not 見る.
