What is the difference between 「一応」and 「一時的に」


I wrote the sentence:

> 一応、私の日本人妻の親と同居しています。

The appropriate word to use is 「一時的に」as suggested by a native speaker.
However, when I asked the difference between the two words, I wasn't given an
answer. As far as I understand, both words mean "tentatively" or "for the time
being". Is this not correct?




一応 is "as a quick, dirty, incomplete [resolution / strategy / answer /
explanation]", and implies that there's a better way to do/explain/resolve
something.

Examples:

> 「元気？」「一応。」 (implies something is preventing him from saying he's 100% fine)
>
> 「宿題やった？」「一応。」 (he has done his homework, but not perfectly)

Your sentence:

> 一応、私の日本人妻の親と同居しています。

Depending on the context, 一応 in this sentence means either "To put it plainly,
..." or "I know this is not good, but for now ...".

一時的に simply means "temporarily".
