Another- ďalší, dodatočný, iný

another + singular nonspecific countable noun
Examples:“Let’s meet another day.” “I’d like another piece of cake.”
The nouns (“day” and “piece”) in both sentences are countable and singular (e.g. not with an ‘s’) nouns.
The nouns in both sentences are also not specific. This means that the speaker doesn’t care which day or piece of cake he gets; he just wants a different one. He wants another one, but he hasn’t said (or it isn’t clear or important) which one.
Hint for grammar is: If you understand English articles (“a/an/the”), then think of “another” as “an + other.” You can use “another” before a noun whenever you can use “a(n)” before a noun. The rules are the same. Another = an other!

other + plural or uncountable nonspecific noun Examples:“Other people have problems, too.” [people = plural noun] “This book has other information.” [information = uncountable noun] The nouns in both sentences are not specific, just like with “another”. The speaker doesn’t specify which other people have problems, or what other information the book has. The rules are the same as “another” except that “other” is used before plural or uncountable nouns. Hint: If we think about articles (a/an/t

the other + specific noun (singular, plural, countable or uncountable) Examples: “I have two brothers. One of them lives in Canada. The other brother lives in Japan.” “I go to school on Monday and Thursday. I work on the other days of the week.” The nouns (“brother” & “days”) in both sentences are specific.

Example #1: What brother lives in Japan? The other brother. The speaker said he has two brothers. He told you where the first brother lives, so the other brother must be his second brother. This is a specific brother (not general). You know what brother he is talking about. Example #2: What days of the week does he work on? Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. The speaker said he goes to school on Monday and Thursday. You know that the other days of the week are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
