Can we use Further to our discussion yesterday instead of further discussion?

"Further to our discussion yesterday" is a more formal and concise way to refer back to a previous conversation. It's a good choice if you want to sound professional.

"Further discussion" on its own is less specific and could be used in a more casual setting.

So, yes, you can use "Further to our discussion yesterday" instead of "further discussion." It's a stronger and more professional way to begin your sentence.

Here are some examples:

* Formal: "Further to our discussion yesterday, I would like to propose..."

* Casual: "Further discussion on this topic is needed before we move forward."
