Compare with
zugehörig vs entsprechend
corresponding / according
'entsprechend' and 'zugehörig' can both show that something is connected with a particular thing. However, 'zugehörig' clearly means that something really belongs to a person, group, or thing. 'entsprechend' more often means that something fits it or is intended for it. For parts, groups, documents, or numbers, 'zugehörig' is often more precise when belonging is important. For a suitable answer, rule, or measure, 'entsprechend' sounds more natural.
zugehörig
Auf dem Tisch liegen die Kamera und das zugehörige Kabel.
The camera and the associated cable are lying on the table.
entsprechend
Bitte fülle das entsprechende Formular für deinen Antrag aus.
