About

〜のもとで (sometimes, 〜のもとに) is used to say that "X is done under the influence of Y" or that "with X situation/condition, Y is done". 〜のもとで・に can be split into three main usages:

  • b

    ① 「(Noun representing a person) + のもとで」= "Under the influence of X person..." (「〜のもと」❌)

E.g. マル師匠ししょうのもとで修行しゅぎょうすることになりました。 "I will be training under master Maru."

  • b

    ② 「(Noun representing a situation/condition/system) + のもとで・のもとに」 = "With X situation/under the effects of X condition/under X system..."

E.g. ほうのもとにわたしたちは平等びょうどうである。 "We are equal under the law."

  • b

    ③ 「(Name of concept/institution/system/etc.) + のもとで・のもとに」 = "In the name of X..."

E.g. 人間にんげんは、開発かいはつというのもとでつづけてきた。 "Humans have continuously cut down trees in the name of development."

〜のもとで can sometimes appear in kanji as 〜のもとで.

〜のもとで・のもとに is most commonly used in written scenarios, and sounds slightly stiff/formal.
