    Explanation

    The Japanese adverb '次いで (ついで)' means 'next' or 'following'. It is used to indicate the order of events, actions, or items in a sequence. This word is often used in formal or written contexts to describe what comes immediately after something else. For example: The first prize went to John, and next was Mary「一等賞はジョンで、次いでメアリーだった」(いっとうしょうはジョンで、ついでメアリーだった). After the main course, next came dessert「メインコースの次いでデザートが出た」(メインコースのついでデザートがでた). Note that '次いで' is more formal than '次に (つぎに)', which is a more common way to say 'next' in everyday conversation.
