"Other" and "another"
"Other" and "another" are both English determiners that are used to refer to an additional person or thing.
"Other" is used to describe something that is different or distinct from the thing already mentioned. It is usually used in the singular form, and it can be used as an adjective or pronoun. For example:
"I have one apple, and he has the other." (In this sentence, "other" is used as a pronoun to refer to the remaining apple.)
"I want the other one."
"Another" is used to describe an additional person or thing that is similar to the one already mentioned. It is usually used in the singular form, and it can only be used as an adjective.
For example:
"I have one apple, and I want another one." (In this sentence, "another" is used to describe an additional apple that is similar to the first one.)
Both "other" and "another" are used to add emphasis to the idea of additional or extra people or things. However, "other" is used to describe something that is different or distinct, while "another" is used to describe something that is similar or the same.
"Other" and "another"
"Other" and "another" se pueden traducir al español como "otro" y "otro más".
"Otro" se utiliza para describir algo que es diferente o distinto de lo que ya se ha mencionado. Se suele utilizar en forma singular, y se puede usar como adjetivo o pronombre. Por ejemplo:
"Tengo una manzana, y él tiene la otra." (En esta frase, "otro" se usa como pronombre para referirse a la manzana restante.)
"Quiero la otra."
"another" se utiliza para describir a una persona o cosa adicional que es similar a la ya mencionada. Se suele utilizar en forma singular, y sólo se puede usar como adjetivo. Por ejemplo:
"Tengo una manzana, y quiero otra." (En esta frase, "otra" se usa para describir a una manzana adicional que es similar a la primera.)
Tanto "Other" and "another" se utilizan para enfatizar la idea de personas o cosas adicionales o extras. Sin embargo, "Other" se utiliza para describir algo que es diferente o distinto, mientras que "another" se usa para describir algo que es similar o igual
