文化的背景
This phrase reflects the Western emphasis on empirical evidence and logical deduction in rhetoric. It became a staple of 'corporate speak' in the mid-20th century as business presentations became more data-focused. It is designed to create a sense of consensus between the speaker and the audience.
The Comma is Key
Always remember to put a comma after your evidence. It gives the listener a tiny 'breath' to process the proof before you give the conclusion.
Avoid 'It'
A common mistake is saying 'As it is clear from.' In this specific idiomatic structure, we drop the 'it'. Just say 'As is clear from...'

What It Means
Imagine you are pointing at a giant elephant in the room. You do not just say, "There is an elephant." Instead, you say, As is clear from the giant grey trunk, there is an elephant here. This phrase is a logical bridge. It connects a piece of evidence to a conclusion. It tells your listener, "Look at this fact, and you will see why I am right." It is a very persuasive way to speak. You are not just giving an opinion. You are showing them the truth. It makes your argument feel solid and hard to disagree with.
How To Use It
This phrase usually starts your sentence. It acts like an introduction to your main point. You follow the phrase with the evidence—like a chart, a situation, or a physical object. For example: As is clear from the dark clouds... Then, you must add a comma. After the comma, you state your conclusion: ...it is going to rain. You can technically put it in the middle of a sentence, but that is much rarer. Stick to the beginning. It makes you sound organized, confident, and very prepared. It is like laying down a track for a train to follow.
When To Use It
Use this when you have actual proof. It is perfect for business presentations or school reports. If you have a slide with numbers, use this phrase to guide the audience's eyes. You can also use it in daily life for emphasis. If your friend arrives at your house soaking wet, you can say, As is clear from your dripping hair, you forgot your umbrella. It is great for making a point without being too aggressive. It feels logical and calm rather than emotional.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if the thing is not actually clear. If you say, As is clear from my face, I am happy, while you are frowning, people will be very confused. Also, avoid using it too much. If every sentence starts this way, you will sound like a robot or a textbook. It can also sound a bit "know-it-all" if used in a casual argument with a partner. If you use it to point out something that is already painfully obvious, it might come across as passive-aggressive or sarcastic.
Cultural Background
In English-speaking cultures, especially in professional settings, logic is king. People love "data-driven" decisions. This phrase fits that culture perfectly. It shows you have done your research. It suggests that your conclusion is not just a guess—it is a fact. It is a very "Western" way of communicating. We value directness and evidence. Using this phrase makes you sound like a professional who respects the facts and wants to be transparent with the audience.
Common Variations
If you want to sound a bit more relaxed, try As you can see from. It is almost the same but feels a bit friendlier and more inclusive. For a very formal academic report, you might use As evidenced by. If you are just chatting with a close friend and want to be quick, you might just say Obviously... or It is easy to see that.... Each one changes the "temperature" of the conversation slightly, from cold and professional to warm and casual.

The 'Gentle' Persuader
In English culture, saying 'You are wrong' is often too direct. Using 'As is clear from...' allows the facts to do the arguing for you, which is considered more polite.
