To prevent a workplace misunderstanding, say 確認させてください (“Please let me confirm”), then restate the action, object, owner, deadline, and delivery place. Ask で合っていますか and wait for confirmation or correction before acting.

Restate the action note
Maya gives a quick instruction with two files and two dates.
MayaAを直して、Bは確認しておいてください。
Revise A and check B.
Leo remembers the verbs but swaps the files and assumes both are due today.
LeoBoth today, I think.
Leo restates action, object, owner, and date as two separate lines.
Leo確認させてください。私がAを今日直し、Bは明日確認ですね。
Let me confirm. I revise A today and check B tomorrow, right?
Maya corrects the owner of B, and Leo records the final note.
MayaBは私が確認します。
I will check B.

Signal that you are confirming
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
確認させてください | kakunin sasete kudasai | Please let me confirm | Signal a restatement |
私の理解では | watashi no rikai de wa | My understanding is | Introduce your interpretation |
一つずつ確認します | hitotsu zutsu kakunin shimasu | I will confirm one item at a time | Split a complex instruction |
メモしてもいいですか | memo shite mo ii desu ka | May I take notes? | Create a record |
Restate action, object, owner, and time
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
私がAを修正します | watashi ga A o shūsei shimasu | I will revise A | Owner, object, action |
今日中に送ります | kyōjū ni okurimasu | I will send it by the end of today | Timing and action |
共有フォルダに入れます | kyōyū foruda ni iremasu | I will put it in the shared folder | Delivery place |
この順番で合っていますか | kono junban de atte imasu ka | Is this order correct? | Confirm sequence |
Invite and capture correction
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
で合っていますか | de atte imasu ka | Is that correct? | Request confirmation |
一つ違います | hitotsu chigaimasu | One part is different | Listen for the corrected field |
Bは私が確認します | B wa watashi ga kakunin shimasu | I will check B | Correct the owner |
では、メモを直します | dewa, memo o naoshimasu | Then I will correct my note | Update the record |
Confirm changes after the original instruction
If the instruction changes later, do not append a vague “updated.” State which field changed: 締め切りだけ金曜日に変わりました (“Only the deadline changed to Friday”). Link or replace the old action note according to team practice so two active versions do not compete.
Confirmation is complete when both parties can see the same owner, action, object, date, and location. A polite 分かりました without a restatement is not strong evidence when the task is complex or high impact.
Confirm numbers, quantities, and exclusions
Repeat numbers with units: 三件, 三ページ, and 三時 use the reading san, while 三日 is the exception mikka. Ask 三件ですか、三ページですか when audio or context is unclear. For ranges, confirm both ends and whether they are included.
Negative instructions deserve special attention. Distinguish Aは送らないでください (“Do not send A”), Aだけ送ってください (“Send only A”), and Aも送ってください (“Send A too”). Restate the included and excluded items in positive lists: 送るのはBとC、Aは送りません.
For conditional work, state the trigger: 承認されたら送ります (“I will send it after approval”). Confirm who communicates the trigger and where. Otherwise, two people may agree on the action but act at different times.
Escalate contradictions
If two authorized people give conflicting instructions, do not silently choose one. Show both records and ask who resolves the conflict. Preserve the correction in the shared channel so the old instruction no longer appears active.
After resolution, read the final note once more and ask the responsible person to acknowledge it. This turns a spoken correction into shared evidence before work resumes.
Repeat the instruction until ownership is clear
- Signal that you are confirming, not challenging.
- Restate all actionable fields.
- Invite correction and update the note.
- Remove ambiguity when instructions change.
Use confirmation before asking for help or fixing a deadline
Restating the action, object, owner, and time reveals whether the problem is unclear instruction, blocked work, or schedule risk. Choose the help lesson for a blocked step and the deadline lesson for timing or deliverable uncertainty.

Try the real-world task
Turn one spoken instruction into a confirmed action note.
Ready means:
- I can repeat the action and object.
- I can confirm owner and timing.
- I can invite correction before starting.
