How to say "results" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 成績せいせきnounResults as measured performance: school grades, exam marks, or a record of how well a person, team, or effort did. This is the word for academic results and for someone's overall record.
- 業績ぎょうせきnounResults in the world of work: a company's business performance or an individual's professional achievements. 'Results' here means what a person or organization has accomplished, not grades or scores.
- 戦績せんせきnounResults as a running competitive record: a fighter's or team's tally of wins and losses; the word also covers military records and achievements. Choose it when 'results' means a win-loss score.
- 出来できnounResults as how well something or someone did — the quality of finished work or of a student's performance. For most senses of 'results' it is a marginal choice.
All four can translate 'results', but choose by domain: 成績 for measurable performance such as grades or records, 業績 for business and professional achievements, 戦績 for competitive win-loss records, and 出来 for how well something turned out.
