Differences between 认可,许可 and 允许


peas02

Recommended Posts

Pleco defines them as:

认可 - approve

ex. phrase: 得到领导的认可

许可 - permit; allow:

ex. phrase: 凡是条件许可的地方

AND

得到领导的许可

So, according to this it seems both are pretty much interchangeable, at least in some situations. And last we have:

允许 - permit; allow

With the same definition as 许可. Can someone help me make it clear what the differences are with these three verbs are. Would be much appreciated!
