让 vs 允许:
When 允许 and 让 both mean "to allow". 允许 is more formal. When we use 允许, it's most likely written down as a regulation, bylaw, or law. 让 is informal and it's not necessarily something written down.

让 (ràng) and 叫 (jiào) are both verbs that can be used to express the meaning of "let, allow, make; make way for". However, they are used differently in Chinese.

让 (ràng) is used to express the idea of allowing someone to do something or making something happen. For example, 让他去 (ràng tā qù) means "let him go".

叫 (jiào) is used to express the idea of asking someone to do something. For example, 叫他去 (jiào tā qù) means "ask him to go".
