About saying 'Other than that' in Chinese, about these phrases 不过话说回来 and 除了这点 I am trying to say 'Other than that' in Chinese as in a sentence like. (a asks b) How are you? ( b replies) To be honest I have been a bit ill recently, other than that I'm really good cheers. I was looking the phrase up and found 不过话说回来 and 除了这点....除了这点 seems right to me 'other than that' can easily be said 'except for this' but I'm not sure I understand 不过话说回来, how would you translate 不过话说回来, does it really mean 'other than that'? Thank you.

不过话说回来 is like that one day you talk to your friends about you have just bought a goods you mention it you say " this goods is cheap and good but have a little problem ，不过话说回来 is cheap 价格挺实惠，挺好的，就是有点小问题，不过话说回来 值这个价 ... i think is not means 除此之外

最簡單直接的會是〝除此之外〞 〝不過話說回來〞不是Other than that的意思。我不知道翻譯是不是這樣，這大概與Let's get back to what we said差不多

u seemed always make simple question difficult. "other than that"has the same meaning as"except for this"; and how about"不过话又说回来”？ just a little word"but " can do it.

Clearly it's not quite that simple and doesn't mean just 'and', or you would not say it this way. I mean I cant say 我不过话说回来我的儿子 me and my son! Another proof it's not that simple is someone else said it means 'but' lol! Also to a foreigner, it does not appear simple because the three words alone mean but, said, return, which to use makes no sense whats so ever lol!

it's so eay. 不过话说回来 means and in English. It means people agress what u said and also want to give his/her own opinion also. Hope this can help u. Dont make it so complicated, it just a simple expression in Mandarin Chinese.
