I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

“Moshi-tsutaeru” is the humble form of “ii-tsutaeru” (to convey a message). When conveying a message from a superior party, such as a client, to your boss, it is appropriate to use the humble form. It is a more polite expression than “otsutae shimasu” or “tsutaete okimasu.”

Which person is it polite to have hang up the phone first?

the side that made the call
the receiving side
the superior side

See the answer

the side that made the call

In business settings, it is generally considered proper etiquette for the caller to end the call. The person who answered cannot be sure whether the caller has covered everything they needed, so they may hesitate to hang up. This etiquette was established out of consideration to avoid putting the receiver in an awkward position.
