On the other hand
May I say (or write) "On the other hand" without saying "on the one hand". In Spanish there's no problem of saying: "Por otro lado..." without saying or writing "Por un lado...". Although if I say "Por un lado", then I can say "por otro" (without "lado").
Thanks. |

Sí, se puede decir : on one side..../ but on the other side...

¿Pero sin decir la primera parte también? For instance (without any mor context, just these two sentences):
"I think that sports are boring. On the other hand, despite my opinion, there are people who like them." |

Quote:
si cambiar el contexto:, but despite my opinion there are many sports fans. Tambien se puede usar por mi parte: As far as I'm concerned I find sports boring, but where others are concerned, most will disagree with me.

On one side/hand you have this and on the other you have whatever... It is the the same in Spanish, you have to have been talking about "un lado" so you can mention the other one... |

Sí, pero yo quiero saber si puedo omitir, en un texto, "por un lado". Simplemente decir: "por otro lado tal y tal". Without saying "On the one hand".

Eso es lo que quiero saber (claro, antes he explicado algo). Entonces, ¿sí puedo? Gracias, Chileno.

Nunca he visto "on the other" "a secas".
