CCWF
to agree in theory (business - speak). Stronger than 承る(うけたまわる). 承知 is what you say when you have heard and understood a business proposal, and you agree with it. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will sign the contract or do whatever the person says; merely that you want to work together with them to accomplish these goals, in theory, after 100 more meetings. |
