How to Say "another one" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “another one” is “otro” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
No me gusta este. ¿Me enseñas otro?
I don't like this one. Can you show me another one?
Una galleta estaba rica, pero la otra estaba quemada.
One cookie was tasty, but the other one was burnt.
Algunos fueron a la playa, otros se quedaron en casa.
Some went to the beach, others stayed home.
A Shortcut Word
Use 'otro' by itself to avoid repeating a noun you just mentioned. Instead of '¿Quieres otro café?', if the context is clear, you can just ask '¿Quieres otro?'.
Still Matches Gender and Number
Even when used alone, 'otro' must match the gender and number of the noun it's replacing. 'Me gustó la película, ¿vemos otra?' (I liked the movie, shall we see another one?).
Forgetting the Article for 'The Other One'
Mistake: “Uno es mío, y otro es tuyo.”
Correction: Say 'Uno es mío, y el otro es tuyo' (One is mine, and the other one is yours). When you mean 'the other specific one', you need to add 'el', 'la', 'los', or 'las'.
