## にしたがって

<div class="usage">
<div class="left">
	<p><span class="box">V (る)</span></p>
	<p><span class="box">N</span></p>
</div>
	<p class="right">+ にしたがって・にしたがい</p>
</div>

### In accordance

Another difference is,

**(A)** にしたがい ( = ni shitagai) **(B)** also means “following”/ “ in accordance with” which has nothing to do with change.

In this usage, you can express your will / intention with the following verb. 

noun + にしたがって ( = ni shitagatte) / にしたがい ( = ni shitagai) + what is going to happen/ what you are going to do

Ex. ルールに従ってください。

= Ruuru ni shitagatte kudasai.

= Please follow the rules.


### Gradual change

(A) (noun / verb) + につれて/つれ ( = ni tsurete /tsure) / にしたがって/したがい ( = ni shitagatte / shitagai) /にともなって/ともない ( = ni tomonatte / tomonai)  / とともに ( = to tomoni) + (B)
→As (A) changes,  (B) changes gradually as well.

Ex. 夏が近づくにつれて / したがって日が長くなってきた。

= Natsu ga chikazuku ni tsurete/shitagatte hi ga nagaku nattekita.

= As summer approaches, the days are getting longer.

A: Summer is approaching. (change)

B: The days are getting longer. (gradual change)

(A) causes (B) / (A) influences (B)


As you can see ～につれて / つれ ( = ~ ni tsurete / tsure) and にしたがって / したがい ( = ~ ni shitagatte / shitagai) are interchangeable when the main verb expresses the gradual change.


They are both literal expressions so you often use them to describe natural phenomena or social situations but I would say ～につれて/つれ ( = ni tsurete/tsure) are slightly more common thus you use them for your personal stuff more.



You can use にしたがい ( = ni shitagai)・したがって ( = shitagatte) but ～につれて/～につれ ( = ~ ni  tsurete/tsure) are more natural in conversation.
