Meaning and Usage
"実績" (じっせき) refers to actual achievements or results, often used in business, academic, or professional contexts to indicate proven performance or accomplishments.
Common Contexts
It is frequently used when discussing sales figures, project outcomes, or any measurable success. For example, companies report their "実績" to show credibility or past performance.
Collocations and Patterns
- 実績を上げる: to achieve results or accomplishments
- 実績がある: to have a track record or proven achievements
- 実績を報告する: to report actual results
These phrases are common in formal or semi-formal settings such as business meetings, resumes, or evaluations.
Nuances and Tips
Using "実績" implies concrete, verifiable outcomes rather than intentions or plans. Learners should avoid confusing it with "成果" (せいか), which can be more general or abstract results. "実績" stresses measurable, documented success.
Common Mistake
Do not use "実績" to refer to potential or expected results; it always refers to what has already been accomplished.
