How it's used
Functions as a determiner meaning other or another set of things. It is frequently used to contrast a current selection with an alternative option. Unlike the Mandarin equivalent, it specifically implies a different group or set rather than just one additional item.
Examples
This one is not right, show me some others.
Do you have any other ways to handle this?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 另外, which is more formal and often used in written contexts. Stick to 第啲 for casual spoken conversation to sound natural.
