About に即して

に即(そく)して is a formal grammar structure which is used to express that something is being done for the purpose of handling a matter in the best possible way. It is a combination of に, and the する-verb 即(そく)する 'in corcordance with (A)', ' in line with (A)' in its て-form. Occasionally, に則(そく)して 'in following with' will be used instead.

This structure will be used before nouns, or may be used when one noun is directly modifying another. In the case of the latter, に即(そく)した will be used instead of に即(そく)して.

Caution

に即(そく)して is used when things are being done based on circumstances or situations, while に則(そく)して tends to be used when something is being done in accordance with laws, policies, or standards. There are situations where に則(そく)して will be incorrect, so に即(そく)して is often used in both cases in recent years.

  • この計画(けいかく)は現実(げんじつ)に則(そく)していません。
    This plan does not follow with reality. (Unnatural Japanese)
