<div class='writeup-body'>序（ついで）に is an <span class='info-highlight' data-term='副詞・ふくし'>adverb</span> in Japanese that is used in a similar way to 'while you're at it', or 'on the occasion of (A)' in English. 序（ついで） itself is a noun that means 'precedence' (in terms of being the first thing to happen). Due to this, the literal meaning of 序（ついで）に may be thought of as 'with (A) as the precedence, (B)'.<br>序（ついで）に is commonly used with verbs, or nouns.
