About this pattern
Explanation
This pattern is used to judge or infer something based on what someone or something is like, or based on a situation. It means “judging from …” or “from …’s point of view.” It often refers to the speaker’s interpretation of evidence, appearances, or outcomes to draw a conclusion. It is commonly used to express an evaluation that follows from the given basis, rather than a certain fact. The phrase attaches to nouns (including pronouns or nominalized phrases) and can reflect the speaker’s perspective, the other party’s perspective, or a general viewpoint.
