@kazuya_localjapan: 🇯🇵 Japanese Phrase Pick-ups ⬇️ 🌱 「事前に」 EN: In advance / Beforehand Used to indicate that something has already been done before the current moment. Very common in both casual and formal situations. Example: 本日事前にですね、ご精算の方いただいておりますが、 🌿 「〜の方」 EN: Regarding / As for… (soft, indirect) A vague and indirect expression often used in formal situations. It doesn’t add concrete meaning but softens the statement, which can confuse learners expecting a clear subject. Example: ご精算の方いただいておりますが、 💬 「〜となります」 EN: So / That means / It will be… A polite and indirect way to state a result or rule. Frequently used in customer services, but difficult because the reason is often implied rather than clearly stated. Example: 一階でのご用意となりますので、 How much did you catch?
