Hello everyone, and welcome to "Hello Word!" I'm Alex, your host, and today we’re diving into a super useful word in English: another. This is an A1-level determiner, which means it’s perfect for beginners. Another means "one more" or "an additional one," and it’s something you’ll hear and use often in daily life. Let’s break it down! Imagine you’re at a party, and you’ve just finished a slice of cake. You might say, "Can I have another slice, please?" Here, another adds the idea of one more slice to what you already had. It’s great for situations where you’re asking for or referring to something extra. Some synonyms for another include an additional, one more, or even extra in some contexts. For example, instead of saying, "I’d like another coffee," you could say, "I’d like an additional coffee." Or, if you’ve already had a few questions answered, you might say, "Can I ask one more question?" All of these mean the same thing. Now let’s think about antonyms. If another means one more, an opposite idea would be no more or none. For example, if you don’t want more food, you might say, "No, thank you, I don’t want another." Or, "There are none left." In everyday life, you might hear sentences like, "Let’s watch another episode of this show," or, "Would you like to try another dress?" It’s a really handy word that fits naturally into casual conversations and polite requests. Here are a few more examples to help you use another confidently. "She bought another book from the series." "I think we need another chair for the meeting." "Can we meet on another day instead?" Notice how another always points to something additional or new. That’s it for today’s word, another! To sum up, another is a simple and powerful determiner meaning "one more" or "an additional one." It has helpful synonyms like an additional and one more and contrasts with antonyms like no more or none.
