otro

other; another

determiner OH-troh Common

Usage Note

Otro never takes an indefinite article in Spanish — saying un otro is a classic learner error; the correct form is simply otro libro 'another book'. It inflects for gender and number: otra, otros, otras. The phrase el uno al otro means 'each other', and otra vez 'another time / again' is extremely common in everyday speech.

Examples

"Dame otro vaso de agua."

Natural Translation

Give me another glass of water.
