How it's used

Functions as a determiner or adverb to introduce something additional or distinct from what was previously mentioned. Unlike the Mandarin usage, it is frequently paired with 嗰 to specify a particular alternative. It often carries a sense of providing an extra option or shifting focus to a separate item.

Common mistake

Avoid using it as a direct translation for 'another' when referring to a singular, non-specific item, as it often implies a distinct or separate category rather than just an additional one. In those cases, using 仲有 or 另外一個 is more natural.
