Signification
To explore a topic in more detail and complexity through discussion.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Kuuki wo yomu' (reading the air) often influences how discussions are deepened. People may wait for a senior member to signal that it is okay to 'deepen' the discussion into more controversial areas. In Japanese universities, 'Zemi' (seminars) are the primary place where this phrase is lived out. It's a culture of collective inquiry rather than individual competition. Using this phrase can be a polite way to say 'I don't agree yet' without being confrontational. It suggests you want to talk more rather than saying 'No.'
Use it to buy time
If you don't want to make a decision right now in a meeting, say 'Let's deepen the discussion' to move the decision to the next meeting politely.
Aizuchi is key
While deepening a discussion, use 'Naruhodo' (I see) or 'Tashika ni' (Certainly) to show you are following the depth.
