뜻
A polite and formal way to ask someone to consider a proposal or idea.
문화적 배경
In Japan, being too direct is often seen as 'Kitsui' (harsh). This phrase allows the speaker to 'push' an idea while appearing to 'pull' back, maintaining the delicate balance of power in the office. The word 'Saiwai' (happiness/fortune) is used in business to show that the speaker's well-being is tied to the recipient's kindness. It's a way of building a relationship rather than just doing a transaction. Japanese business emails are famous for their long, ritualistic openings and closings. This phrase is a key component of the 'closing ritual' that ensures the email ends on a respectful note. The use of 'Itadaku' (humble receive) is a linguistic bow. It visually and aurally places the speaker below the recipient, which is the expected 'posture' when making a request in Japan.
The 'Zonjimasu' Upgrade
If you are writing to someone truly important (like a company president), change 'desu' to '存じます' (zonjimasu). It sounds incredibly sophisticated.
Don't Overuse It
If you use this for every tiny thing (like 'Please consider this pencil'), it loses its power and makes you sound unsure of yourself.

The Silent 'No'
If someone says 'Goi-kkou itadakereba...' to you and you want to say no, don't say 'No.' Say 'It's difficult, but I will consider it.' This phrase is part of a culture of indirectness.
