sometimes used for denial (contributor: dc)
How would this be different from just using an 'if' form with a negative
verb (-ba, -tara, to)? For example, could we just say
上司に相談しないとお返事できません? (contributor: anon)
上司に相談しないとお返事できません or
上司に相談しないでお返事できません are both grammatically
correct, but they are more or less blunt response when compared with
上司に相談してからでないとお返事できません.
(contributor: bamboo4)
I have the feeling that the meaning is close to 'nai kagiri' in this case
>>
上司に相談しない限りお返事ができません。
What do you think about it? (contributor: Ludi)
anon: You could probably say it with the same connotation if you add just a
bit more. Example:
先に上司に相談しないと、お返事できません。

Ludi, かぎり is more meant to express 'As long as A continues, B will
continue.' It's more of a positive grammar than a negative one. It could
work, but it would sound awkward: 'As long as I don't consult with my boss,
I can't give you an answer.' (contributor: rubyhatchet)
So by using 〜てからでなければ instead of simply using 〜ば, you
are being more emphatic? Would this be similar to the difference between
から and からこそ？ (contributor: xabre24)
〜てからでなければ sounds very much like something you would see
only in writing. Can you colloquialise to 〜てからじゃなければ？
