How it's used
Use this phrase to pivot to a different category or option rather than just a different individual item. It is frequently used when rejecting a current choice in favor of an alternative. When referring to a completely different thing or a new topic, it is common to add 嘢 after it.
Examples
This one is not good, I want to try another kind.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean a different individual unit of the same type, as that would be 另外一個. It specifically implies a change in kind, type, or variety.
