Grammar usage notes

1. Means "even A" or "judging from A", depending on the context.
2. When からして means "even", it can be replaced by (で) すら or (で) さえ. (However, unlike (で) すら and(で) さえ, it is used only in the subject position in a sentence and can't be used in the in/direct object position).
3. When it means "judging from" it can be replaced by から言って or から見て.

からして vs からすると

Both mean judging based on A.

However, からすると can also mean "from the standpoint of". E.g.私からすると難しくない。 From my point of view, it's not difficult. からして cannot replace からすると in this case.

からして also tends to emphasise that A itself or A alone is sufficient evidence, whereas からすると is a more neutral "based on A". E.g. 足跡からして、犯人は一人だ。and 足跡からすると、犯人は一人だ。While both sentences mean based on the footprints, there was one culprit, からして implies judging from the footprints alone and からすると has less emphasis on the footprints alone.

I'm still confused between からして and からすると, and especially I couldn't really understand the difference from the sample sentences that I have encountered.


例えば:


彼のメールからすると馬鹿な人です。


Would the following be correct?


彼のメールからして馬鹿な人です。

When using A as a basis for judgement for what follows B (like in your examples), からして and からすると are synonymous.


There is one more usage of からして that is not listed here. Let me give you an example from a text I'm looking at.


(日本語文型辞典) リーダーからしてやる気がないのだから、ほかの人たちがやるはずがない.


This one is more of the "given that not even the leader is inclined to do it, there's no way anyone else will."


According to this, it is used to give an extreme example, (like a leader not wanting to do something), and saying "given this, there's no way that _____."


Hope this helps!

I keep getting questions wrong in the grammar quizzes when the choices include both からして and からすると, and the correct answer is one of the two. I've looked at the info here and in my grammar books, but I still don't get the difference...

According to the above video and the example sentences posted here, there are two distinct uses for this term, only one of which overlaps with からすると. But currently that is not reflected in the grammar explanation. Perhaps it could be updated?

There are no example sentences for the first usage of ~からして (using an extreme example as a basis for the judgement) as of April 17th, 2023. Something like 「象は足跡からして大きい」("You can tell that an elephant is big even by its footprints" or "Even their fooprints suggest that elephants are big", since I'm not sure which grammatical structure in English would convey the nuance of the Japanese grammar in question better) or 「あの少年は見た目からして不良品のように見える」("That boy looks like a deliquent, starting from his appearance"). Again, not sure if tbose sentences (both in Japanese and in English) sound natural and properly convey all the nuances and implications, but it'd be great if at least several example sentences were added so that this grammar would start popping up during the practice.
