" I could be more clear in this issue" ? At my work I have to communicate with people from other countries by e-mails and our common language is English. Our company has partners in U.K, too and today I had a chance to talk with one of them through e-mails. We had 2 issues to talk but I couldn't get clearly one of the issues what PIC wrote to me, so I wrote back asking what it meant. He replied immediately with some explanation and I could understand everything clear. And then, I wrote to him "Thank you for your explanation. I could be more clear in these issues". Now I am thinking if this "I could be more clear in this issues" was a correct phrase or not. I was meaning "everything is clear now", but do you think my British partner got it as I meant ?

" I could be more clear on this issue" ?

At my work I have to communicate with people from other countries by e-mails email and our common language is English.

Our company has partners in the U.K too and today I had a chance to talk with one of them through e-mails email.

We had 2 issues to talk about, but I couldn't get clearly one of the issues what that the PIC wrote to me, so I wrote back asking what it meant.

He replied immediately with some explanation and I could understand everything clearly.

And then, I wrote to him "Thank you for your explanation. I could be more clear on these issues".

Now I am thinking if this "I could be more clear on this issues" was a correct phrase or not.
I was meaning "everything is clear now", but do you think my British partner (got it as I meant it/got what I meant)?

You could say, "The issue is clear to me now" as well.

Hello, Max. Thank you for your comment ! You gave me another good phrase "everything makes sense", "that makes sense". I have noted. Thank you !!

Hi Haru Your colleague will probably have understood what you meant. "Everything is clear now" or "everything makes sense" / "that makes sense" would have perhaps been more accurate though. If you say "I could be more clear on these issues", there is a risk that people might think you still do not fully understand the situation. All of that said, your English is very good - certainly better than my Japanese! Kind regards Max
