JLPT N1

～をふまえて

Based on; taking into account

Structure

Noun + をふまえて

How it works

This phrase means to take a previous experience, result, or situation into consideration when making a new plan or decision. It implies a careful evaluation of past information to inform future actions.

Examples

前回の反省点をふまえて、計画を修正しました。

Based on the lessons learned from last time, we revised the plan.

Common mistakes

Using it interchangeably with ～に基づいて; while similar, ふまえて often implies a more active consideration and learning from the past, rather than just referencing it.

Tip

Think "standing on the foundation of (previous experience)".
