Kultureller Hintergrund

This phrase captures the intense societal pressure and the 'weight' that academic or professional outcomes hold in French life.
The 'Shock' Factor

What It Means
Imagine you just finished a big exam. You are waiting for the grade. When it finally arrives, your whole mood changes. That feeling of being shaped by that number is what this phrase captures. It describes being in a state where the outcome is the boss. It is like being under a spell or a heavy cloud. The result dictates what you do next. It also dictates how you feel right now. You are not just 'happy' or 'sad.' You are specifically reacting to that one piece of news. It is a very direct way to link a cause to an effect.
How To Use It
You use this phrase to explain a sudden change in behavior. It usually follows a verb that shows an emotional or physical state. For example, you might say someone is 'stunned' or 'paralyzed.' You place sous le résultat right after that state. Think of it as the reason for the drama. If you are texting a friend about a game, use it to explain why you are celebrating. It works like a bridge between the event and your reaction. It is simple but carries a lot of weight. Just remember to keep the focus on the outcome itself.
When To Use It
This is perfect for sports contexts. Use it when a team loses unexpectedly. It is also great for school or university settings. Use it when grades are posted on the wall. You can use it in business meetings too. If the quarterly sales are bad, the office might be 'under the result.' It works well when the outcome is measurable. Use it when you want to sound a bit more descriptive than just saying 'because of.' It adds a touch of intensity to your story. It is the language of high-stakes moments.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for physical locations. You are not literally standing under a piece of paper. It is a metaphorical 'under.' Avoid using it for general, vague situations. If there is no clear 'result,' the phrase feels out of place. For example, do not use it for the weather. You are 'under the rain,' not 'under the result' of the rain. Also, do not use it for very casual, low-stakes chores. Saying you are 'under the result' of washing dishes sounds a bit too dramatic. Your friends might think you are being a bit of a drama queen.
Cultural Background
French culture places a huge emphasis on 'le résultat.' This starts very early in the school system. Grades are often read aloud in class. A single exam can determine which career path you take. Because of this, the 'result' feels like a heavy, living thing. It has the power to change your social standing or your weekend plans. This phrase reflects that social pressure. It shows that in France, outcomes are not just numbers. They are life-altering events that you must live 'under.'
Common Variations
You will often hear people say sous le coup du résultat. This is a bit more common and means 'under the shock of the result.' Another variation is suite au résultat. This one is more formal and means 'following the result.' If you want to be very dramatic, you can say accablé par le résultat. This means you are completely crushed by it. For a more neutral tone, you can simply use selon le résultat. That just means 'depending on the result.' Each one changes the flavor of the sentence slightly.
Nutzungshinweise
The phrase is neutral and versatile. However, in spoken French, it's more common to hear 'sous le coup du résultat' to emphasize the emotional impact.
The 'Shock' Factor
If you want to sound more natural, add 'le choc' to make it 'sous le choc du résultat'. It's what natives say 90% of the time.
Don't get physical
Remember, this isn't for physical objects. If you say you are 'sous le résultat' while standing under a scoreboard, people will think you're being literal!
The 'Bac' Fever
