〜一方(で) (~ippou (de)) — while / on the other hand

Showing two sides of the same thing at once.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

Verb V普通形 + 一方(で)

い-adj い-adj + 一方(で)

な-adj な-adj [だ] + な + 一方(で)

N N [だ] + である + 一方(で)

It is common in written and formal style.

「〜一方(で)」sets out two different sides of the same thing or situation: 「仕事は忙しい一方で、給料はいい」= the work is busy, but on the other hand the pay is good.
Both sides are true — neither cancels the other.

As a connector it can also stand alone at the head of a sentence: 「都会は便利だ。一方、田舎は静かだ」.
な-adjectives take な and nouns take である.

仕事は忙しい一方で、給料はいい。

しごとはいそがしいいっぽうで、きゅうりょうはいい。

The work is busy; on the other hand, the pay is good.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 忙しい is an い-adj → attach 一方で straight to it → the other side comes after → both stay true.

この町は便利な一方で、家賃が高い。

このまちはべんりないっぽうで、やちんがたかい。

This town is convenient; on the other hand, the rent is high.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 便利だ is a な-adj → change だ to な → attach 一方で to it.

都会は便利だ。一方、田舎は静かだ。

とかいはべんりだ。いっぽう、いなかはしずかだ。

Cities are convenient. On the other hand, the countryside is quiet.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) Here 一方 comes on its own at the start of the sentence → it works as a word that links two sentences.

Question: 1/3

「この仕事は楽しい＿、大変だ。」— fill the blank.

💡 Hint: Two sides at once.
