🌍

Contexto cultural

While Japan is famous for valuing the 'process' and 'effort,' the rise of this phrase reflects a shift toward meritocracy. It is particularly popular in the 'Shonen' manga genre, where heroes must prove their worth through tangible victories. It bridges the gap between traditional persistence and modern efficiency.

💡

Active vs. Passive

Use `を出す` (o dasu) when you want to take credit for the success. Use `が出る` (ga deru) to sound more humble or when referring to luck.

⚠️

Don't be a Robot

Avoid using this in romantic contexts. Saying 'I want to produce results in our relationship' sounds like you're trying to optimize your love life like a spreadsheet.

What It Means

結果を出す (kekka o dasu) is the ultimate 'show me the money' phrase in Japanese. While Japanese culture often praises effort, this phrase focuses purely on the outcome. It means you didn't just work hard; you actually achieved the goal. Think of it as 'delivering the goods' or 'hitting your targets.'

How To Use It

You use this phrase when you want to sound determined or successful. It combines 結果 (result) with the verb 出す (to put out/emit). It’s an active phrase. You are the one making the result happen. You can use it for yourself or to describe someone else's success. It’s very common in sports, business, and even personal hobbies like gaming or dieting.

When To Use It

Use this when you are talking about performance. In a job interview, you might say you want to 結果を出す for the company. If you’re a coach, you tell your team it’s time to 結果を出す. It’s great for high-pressure moments where only the final score matters. You can also use it when you finally see progress after a long struggle. It feels satisfying to say!

When NOT To Use It

Don't use this for things that are purely about feelings or vibes. You wouldn't say you 'produced results' in a casual friendship or a walk in the park. It sounds a bit too cold for purely social or emotional situations. If you use it too much in a relationship, you might sound like a robot. Avoid it when the process is more important than the end goal.

Cultural Background

Historically, Japanese culture has a deep love for 頑張る (ganbaru), which is all about the spirit of trying hard. However, in the modern, fast-paced Japanese business world, 結果を出す has become a mantra. There is a growing shift toward 'results-based' thinking. It reflects a more globalized, competitive side of Japan. It’s the language of winners and high-achievers.

Common Variations

You will often hear 結果が出る (kekka ga deru). This means 'results come out' or 'results appear.' It’s more passive. Use 出す when you want to sound like you took control. Use 出る when the result just happened naturally. For example, if you take a test, the results 出る. If you study hard to win, you 出す them.

Notas de uso

This phrase is neutral and safe for most situations. Just remember that `出す` implies personal agency and effort leading to a conclusion.

💬

The 'Ganbaru' Trap

In Japan, 'I tried hard' is often a valid excuse. But if you say 'I will produce results,' you are signaling that excuses won't be made. It's a very strong commitment.
