データが整ったら、送信してください。
Please send it when the data is ready.
Used in both formal and casual contexts to indicate readiness to proceed.
The structure 'Xたら' (X tara) is a common conditional form meaning 'when X happens' or 'if X is done'. It implies a natural sequence of events rather than a hypothetical.
Use this phrase when readiness is a prerequisite for the next action, not just a general statement of being prepared.
準備 (junbi) means 'preparation' or 'arrangement', and 整った (ととのった, totonotta) means 'to be in order' or 'to be ready'. The particle ら (ra) indicates a conditional clause.
This phrase is commonly used in both spoken and written Japanese to signal the start of an action after preparations are complete. It can apply to physical, digital, or organizational readiness.
