The English phrase "apply correspondingly" is used in formal or technical contexts to mean that a rule, principle, or method should be adapted and used in a similar but not identical situation. In Japanese, this concept is often expressed through set phrases or grammatical patterns rather than a single word.
To indicate that a stated rule, article, or condition is to be applied with necessary modifications to a different but analogous situation, common in legal, contractual, or official documents.
This is the standard legal and formal term meaning 'to apply mutatis mutandis' or 'to apply with necessary modifications'. It is used when a provision is adapted to a similar case.

Direct translations like "対応して適用する" are not natural Japanese. Use set phrases such as 準用する or 応用する depending on context.
準用する is strictly for legal or formal rule adaptation (mutatis mutandis). 応用する is for practical application of theories or methods. Do not interchange them.
