AaSpelling
i·den·ti·cal

?Which word?
identical to or identical with?
Both are correct: 'identical to' is the more common modern form, 'identical with' the older and more formal one. Use 'the same as', never 'the same to'. Identical twins come from one egg and look alike; fraternal twins come from two eggs and may not.
दोनों सही हैं: 'identical to' आधुनिक और अधिक प्रचलित है, 'identical with' पुराना और अधिक औपचारिक। 'The same as' कहिए, 'the same to' कभी नहीं। Identical twins एक अंडे से बनते हैं और एक जैसे दिखते हैं; fraternal twins दो अंडों से, और ज़रूरी नहीं कि एक जैसे हों।
