ein anderer
another
In German, 'ein anderer' is used to express 'another' in a similar way as in English. It can be used in the context of 'another person', 'another thing', or 'another time'. It is important to note that in German, the indefinite article 'ein' is used with 'anderer' to form 'ein anderer', unlike in English where 'another' stands alone.
