解説 (JP): 「～上で」は、「～てから」という意味で、ある行動を十分に行ってから、その結果や判断に基づいて次の行動をとることを表します。 ご契約の件は、家族とよく相談した**上で**、お返事いたします。\n\nCommon Mistakes:\n❌ うちに: Very common mistake! '〜うちに' means 'while a certain state persists'. But look at the verb '相談した (past tense)'. To say 'Subsequent to completing X, I will do Y', the formal combination is 'V-ta + うえで'.\n❌ ついでに: '〜ついでに' means 'doing Y casually on the side'. 'I consulted my family, and on the side, I'll sign this major contract'... That's way too casual for a big business decision! haha\n❌ 最中に: '〜最中' means 'Right in the exact middle'. Replying to a contract RIGHT in the middle of a family meeting is pretty impressive multitasking! Use 'うえで' (after concluding) instead.
