文化的背景

France has a strong intellectual tradition of 'prospective' (future studies) popularized by Gaston Berger. This phrase reflects the French desire to rationally plan and shape the future of the 'société' (which can mean both society and a business company). It is a staple in political discourse and high-level corporate strategy.

💡

The 'Mutation' Match

This phrase loves the word `mutation`. Use `anticiper une société en mutation` to sound like a true French intellectual.

What It Means

Imagine you are a time traveler. You look at today to see tomorrow. Anticiper une société means predicting how people will live. It is about seeing changes before they arrive. You look at technology, habits, and needs. It is like being a social architect. You build ideas for a world that does not exist yet.

How To Use It

You will mostly see this in writing. It sounds smart and professional. You can say nous devons anticiper une société durable. It works well with adjectives. Use it when you talk about big changes. It is a 'big picture' phrase. Don't use it for small, daily tasks. It requires a bit of vision.

When To Use It

Use it in a business meeting. It shows you have vision. Use it in an essay for university. It works great for sociology or economics. You can use it while watching the news. It is perfect for discussing the climate or AI. If you want to sound like a leader, use this.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use it for your lunch. Saying j'anticipe une société de sandwichs sounds weird. It is too formal for a first date. Unless you are both sociologists! Avoid it in very slangy conversations. It might make you sound a bit pretentious. Keep it for meaningful discussions.

Cultural Background

The French are obsessed with the future. They created a field called la prospective. It started after World War II. They wanted to rebuild the country with a plan. This phrase carries that history of planning. It is about being proactive, not reactive. The French state even has offices for this.

Common Variations

You can say anticiper les besoins de la société. Or try anticiper une société en mutation. Sometimes people say anticiper les évolutions sociales. All of these focus on the 'next step'. They all sound very sophisticated. They show you are thinking about the collective future.

使い方のコツ

This is a formal/neutral collocation. Ensure you use the feminine article `une`. It is most effective when followed by an adjective describing the type of society (e.g., `durable`, `numérique`, `vieillissante`).

💡

The 'Mutation' Match

This phrase loves the word `mutation`. Use `anticiper une société en mutation` to sound like a true French intellectual.
