About

🥨 〜上で can attach to casual past/present form verbs, or nouns using the の particle.
This entry concerns the "while doing X,... Y" usage:
E.g. 日本語を勉強するうえで大切なことは何ですか。 "What is important when studying Japanese?"
E.g. 留学する上で、気をつけなくてはいけない事がいくつかあります。 "There are a few things to be careful of when studying abroad."
E.g. 美味しいカレーを作る上でのポイントは、野菜を大きく切る事です。 "When making delicious curry, it's important to cut your vegetables into large peices."
