Term: PER CONTRA

Definition: Per contra is a Latin phrase that means "on the other hand" or "to the contrary." It is used to show a contrast between two things or ideas. For example, if someone says "I love hot weather, per contra my friend hates it," they are showing a difference in opinion or preference.

A more thorough explanation:

PER CONTRA

Per contra (pronounced pər kon-trə) is a Latin phrase that means "on the other hand," "to the contrary," or "by contrast."

  • I know you want to go to the beach, but per contra, it's supposed to rain all day.
  • She's not very tall, but per contra, she's an excellent basketball player.

The first example shows how the phrase is used to introduce a contrasting idea. In this case, the speaker is acknowledging that the listener wants to go to the beach, but is pointing out that the weather will not be good for it.

The second example uses per contra to introduce a contrasting quality. The speaker is saying that even though the person is not tall, they are still good at basketball.
