Usage tips

Compare with

confusable

meinerseits vs andererseits

on the other hand

'andererseits' and 'meinerseits' both contain the idea of a “side,” but they do not mean the same thing. 'andererseits' shows another side of a topic or a contrast. 'meinerseits' means “on my part” or “from my point of view” and refers to the speaker themself. The words can be confused because they are built in a similar way. A practical rule is: 'andererseits' fits with pros and cons, while 'meinerseits' fits when you mention your own attitude or your own contribution.

Visual example for andererseits
meinerseits

Meinerseits gibt es keine weiteren Fragen zu dem Vertrag.

On my part, there are no further questions about the contract.

andererseits

Ich finde die Wohnung sehr schön, andererseits ist die Miete ziemlich hoch.

I think the apartment is very nice; on the other hand, the rent is quite high.
