    This phrase makes your question very soft. You are not demanding an answer. You are gently checking if your idea is right. It is like saying, 'Is it okay if I think this?'

    This is different from "〜でよろしいでしょうか." That phrase asks about a simple choice. This one confirms a whole idea. It is softer than "〜で間違いないでしょうか." That phrase asks if something is a fact. This one asks if your understanding is right. The past tense version asks about past information.

    Use this when you want to check if you understand something correctly. You are often helping someone. You sum up what they said. Then you ask if your summary is right. This shows you are listening well. It also shows you are polite.
