Question Yet again

Translation into Spanish?
Examples of usage in English?

(I would go with something like "pero, una vez más" or "aunque, asimismo...")

Yet again, I'd like to know your opinions!
Aunque... ¡también me gustaría saber vuestras opiniones!

Elaina will become famous soon enough
I think it would be easier to say.......but then again... more commonly used.

Sorry......can't think of a good translation other than pero entonces..

I don't think "yet again" and "but then again" are equivalent.

"Yet again I'd like to know your opinions, but then again maybe I wouldn't!"

"Una vez más, me gustaría saber vuestras opiniones, pero entonces quizá no [fuera así]."

Maybe the "yet again" is more like "once more"? [una vez más/asimismo also; likewise] ??

Yes! I was just going to add this to my post:
yet again= once again, once more
but then again = on the other hand

Last edited by LibraryLady; May 28, 2010 at 08:34 AM. Reason: added more examples for "yet again"

"Una vez más" seems to me the best, generally...
