ausgehend vs beginnend

beginning / starting

'beginnend' and 'ausgehend' can both name a starting point. The difference lies in how that starting point is viewed. 'beginnend' says where or when something begins, for example 'beginnend am Montag' (starting on Monday) or 'beginnend mit Kapitel eins' (starting with chapter one). 'ausgehend von' means more: taking something as the basis or starting point for a thought, plan, or explanation. Learners may confuse the words because both often start from a point. A practical guide: for time, sequence, or the beginning of something, 'beginnend' usually fits. For a reason, basis, or calculation, 'ausgehend von' usually fits.

Visual example for beginnend
ausgehend

Ausgehend von den aktuellen Zahlen plant die Firma mehr Personal ein.

beginnend
