Por su parte...

Question

When I saw this story, I understood everything except for "por su parte". I know the literal translation would be "for his part", but it doesn't seem to make sense in this case. ( This is a random story from the internet, I did not try to open a door with my teeth haha)

Hoy, por curiosidad, intento abrir una puerta con los dientes. Por su parte, mi padre hace lo mismo, con el pie.

Gracias :D

Answer 1

Por su parte, mi padre hace lo mismo, con el pie.

My father does the same himself, with his foot.

Answer 2

For his part..

Seems similar to "to his credit".
