〜をもってすれば (~o motte sureba) — with ~, even (something hard) is possible
A formal way to praise the great power of someone's ability or a technology: 'with that, it can be done'.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
When to use it
- Your team is handed a brutal deadline and everyone panics.
- Then the manager says calmly: 「田中さんの経験をもってすれば、この納期でも間に合うはずだ」— 'With Tanaka-san's experience, we can make even this deadline.'
Meaning
- 「〜をもってすれば」is the conditional of the 「をもって」(means) you just learned: 'if you bring that powerful means or ability to bear, even the hard thing is possible'.
- It heaps praise on N — 'that ability is so great that…'.
- What follows is a positive possibility: 〜できる・可能だ・難しくない・夢ではない・〜だろう.
How to attach
Straight to a noun: 実力・技術・経験・語学力 + をもってすれば
Versus what you know
- Plain 「〜があれば」(彼の経験があれば) just states a condition; 「をもってすれば」praises as well.
- The opposite meaning — 'even that wasn't enough' — is the next point, 「をもってしても」.
Watch out
- N must always be something strong and highly valued — a small thing like 「私の少しの貯金をもってすれば」sounds odd.
- Using it about your own ability sounds boastful.
Examples (उदाहरणहरू)
彼女の交渉力をもってすれば、この難しい契約もきっとまとまるだろう。
かのじょのこうしょうりょくをもってすれば、このむずかしいけいやくもきっとまとまるだろう。
With her negotiating skills, even this difficult contract will surely come together.
How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 交渉力 = negotiating ability (being praised) → 「をもってすれば」 = with that ability → then a positive possibility: きっとまとまるだろう (it will surely be settled).
日本の建築技術をもってすれば、この橋は一年で完成できるだろう。
にほんのけんちくぎじゅつをもってすれば、このはしはいちねんでかんせいできるだろう。
With Japan's construction technology, this bridge could probably be finished in a year.
How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 建築技術 = construction technology → 「をもってすれば」 → then 完成できるだろう — a guess that 'it's probably possible'; news or article style.
このチームの団結力をもってすれば、優勝も夢ではない。
このチームのだんけつりょくをもってすれば、ゆうしょうもゆめではない。
With this team's unity, winning the championship is no mere dream.
How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 団結力 = the strength of unity → 「をもってすれば」 → then 優勝も夢ではない — even a hard goal is possible.
Knowledge check (मिनी ज्ञान जाँच)
「彼の営業力＿＿＿、新しい顧客もすぐに見つかるだろう。」— fill the blank.
💡 Hint: N + を + もって + すれば.
N + をもってすれば = with ~. 営業力をもってすれば = with his sales skills.
In which sentence is 「をもってすれば」unnatural?
💡 Hint: How strong is the N?
をもってすれば takes a great, admired ability; 'a little savings' is a small thing.
What normally follows 「〜をもってすれば」?
💡 Hint: 'With that…' — can or can't?
をもってすれば → a positive possibility. A negative result follows 「をもってしても」.
