It's Friday again, and the weekend is just hours away.

But first, how about one more Berlitz WordMaster? . . .

Here you are!

ANOTHER vs. THE OTHER       もうひとつの vs. 他の


Another means one more. The other means the one that is left -- for example the one that we haven't yet talked about or done something to.

Anotherは、「もうひとつ」の意味で、今まで話題にしていなかったものの中のどれかひとつをさします。The otherは、今まで話題にしていなかったもの全部、つまり残り全部をさします。

1. Would you like another beer, sir?

2. I need another hour to finish this report.

3. The trunk is too small for both suitcases, so I'll put the other one in the back seat.
That's all for today. See you in another 24 hours!
