States what something essentially is, presenting the speaker's judgment as an obvious truth. Often used for definitions, criticism or life lessons; sounds slightly declarative and written.
N / V-dict / i-adj / na-adj + というものだ
〜というものだ
Means you end up not having to do something unpleasant. Neutral register; 〜ないですむ is the more casual spoken form.
V-nai stem + ずにすむ（する → せずにすむ）
〜ずにすむ
Judges something against the expectation attached to a label or fixed standard: for a beginner, for December. Close to わりに, but the standard is a definite category.
N ／ V plain + にしては
〜にしては
With the intention of doing something, or acting as if a situation were true when it is not. Everyday register, common in advice and when talking about your own mindset.
V-dict ／ V-た ／ N + の + つもりで
〜つもりで
Concessive 'even though', joining two clauses that clash. More literary than 〜ながら or 〜のに; common in written Japanese and set phrases such as 狭いながらも.
V-stem ／ i-adj ／ na-adj ／ N + ながらも
〜ながらも
Says you can't afford to go on doing only one thing, because something else needs doing. Carries a sense of pulling yourself together; used in speech and writing alike.
V-te + ばかりはいられない
〜てばかりはいられない
Says a situation is practically the same as something else, even if not literally so. Mildly emphatic, neutral to colloquial; often appears as も同然の + noun.
N ／ V-た + も同然（だ・の + N）
〜も同然
Only by doing A does B become true — the action is presented as the essential condition. Emphatic and slightly formal, and the result that follows is positive.
V-て + こそ（後に肯定的な結果が来る）
〜てこそ
Denies that a general idea always holds true: 'it isn't simply the case that...'. Used to soften or correct an over-simple assumption; common in essays and careful speech.
Plain form / N / na-adj + というものではない（でもない）
〜というものではない
〜ないことはない A double negative meaning 'it's not that I can't / it's possible, though reluctantly'. Gives a cautious, hedged yes; common in polite spoken Japanese. — V-nai / i-adj くない / na-adj でない + ことはない
〜わりに The result is unexpected given the standard mentioned: good for the price, calm for his age. Neutral and very common in everyday speech and writing. — plain + わりに(は)（N + のわりに、na-adj + なわりに）
〜としたら / 〜とすれば Sets up a hypothesis for discussion: supposing that A is the case, then B. Common in reasoning, planning and questions; neutral to slightly formal. — plain + としたら／とすれば／とすると
〜にしたら / 〜にすれば Presents a matter from a particular person's viewpoint, often with sympathy. Used with people, not things; にしてみれば is a common variant. Both spoken and written. — N（人）+ にしたら／にすれば／にしてみれば
〜としても Even supposing A is true, B still holds. A concessive hypothesis, often paired with たとえ. Neutral register, frequent in argument and discussion. — plain + としても（N・na-adj は「だとしても」）
〜ふりをする To pretend to be or do something that is not actually the case. Everyday spoken Japanese, and usually mildly critical of the pretence. — V-dict ／ V-た ／ i-adj ／ na-adjな ／ N + の + ふりをする
〜ようでは If things stay in this state, a bad outcome will follow. It carries criticism or warning, so it is not aimed at a superior. Used in speech and writing. — plain + ようでは（N + のようでは、na-adj + なようでは）
〜に相違ない Expresses the speaker's firm conviction: 'there is no doubt that'. A formal, written equivalent of 〜に違いない, seen in reports, legal texts and news. — N / na-adj / plain form + に相違ない
〜かのようだ Compares a real situation to something it is not: 'as if'. More literary and vivid than 〜ようだ, often used with まるで, especially in descriptive writing. — plain + かのようだ／かのように（N・na-adj は であるかのようだ）
