によると・によれば (JLPT N3)

À propos de によると・によれば

によると, a combination of the case marking particle に, the う - Verb よる, and the conjunction particle と, is a phrase that is used to express that something is 'according to (A)', or 'going off (A)'. In these cases, (A) is considered to be the source of some form of information which will be conveyed in the (B) part of the sentence.

This expression will be used after nouns, or with verbs that have been paired with ところ (to indicate the 'place' where the information came from).

In newspapers and in articles, the more formal によりますと variant can also regularly be seen.

However, this structure is not limited to using と, and the same meaning can be conveyed with によれば. This is just よる in its conjunctive form that pairs with the conjunction particle ば.

Caution

Although によると and によれば are largely interchangeable, によると will convey a higher level of 'certainty', or 'reliability' in regard to the source of information. Due to this, によると is more likely to be used when referring to legitimate sources (police, news, etc).

Fun Fact

よる is almost always written in hiragana alone. However, there are several different kanji that can be used to represent this verb. Each of these kanji have slightly different nuances, but they generally all represent the same 'base' meaning. This meaning is that '(B)'s foundation is (A)'. The most common kanji used for よる are as follows:

依(よ)る - (B) depends on (A).

拠(よ)る - (B) extends from (A).

因(よ)る - (B) results from (A).

由(よ)る - (B) is due to (A).
