～上で: "After/upon/when..."

Introduction

Heya! Today we'll be looking at a kinda formal/written piece of grammar. So put on your formal pants. (Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.)

Let's get to it!

〜上うえで: Upon doing X

構成こうせい

• 

  Past casual verb/present casual verb上うえで

• 

  Nounの上うえで
  Example:
  → 確認かくにんした上うえで、お使つかいください。
  "Please use (this) upon checking (it).”

First things first, 〜上うえで is quite formal. This means it doesn't tend to get used much in casual conversation, and you're most likely to encounter it in written contexts, or formal spoken explanations.

When we attach 上うえで to a past tense verb, or to a noun using の, we are saying "Once X is done...". What follows is most commonly some sort of instruction, but other statements are possible too. (I bet you can't WAIT to check out some examples!!!)
