There are many "counterfeiters" (people who try to make money, documents, and other things look real when they aren't) who try to "fool" (trick; make someone believe something that isn't true) people into buying things that are not genuine. When making a "major purchase" (something expensive), it's important to identify whether the "item" (thing; product) is genuine or "false" (counterfeit; fake; not real).

Many people just rely on the "brand name," or the name that a company gives to a product. For example, Nike is a brand name. "Theoretically" (in theory; as an idea, but not necessarily in reality) only products produced and sold by the Nike company should have the Nike brand name, but many counterfeiters "copy" (make something similar to) Nike products and put the Nike brand name on them. In this situation, it's important to examine the product "features" (characteristics) to "differentiate" (tell the difference between) genuine and false goods.

When purchasing a "replacement part" (a new piece used when an old piece can no longer be used) for an automobile, machine, or equipment, "OEM" (original equipment manufacturer) "indicates" (shows; demonstrates) that the replacement part is made by the same company that made the original part, and that there is no difference between the replacement part and the parts that are used when making new products.

When buying gold jewelry, buyers need to know how "pure" (made of only one thing) the gold is. The "carat" is a measurement of the purity of gold. A 24-carat gold ring is 99.9% gold, but an 18-carat ring is only 75% gold. If getting a genuine 24-carat gold ring is important to you, have a "reputable" (reliable and trustworthy; with a good reputation) "jeweler" (a person who makes or sells jewelry) examine the piece for you.
