< TJ > Grammar - Pemakaian 'Another' & 'Other'

< T >
Bagaimana pemakaian 'another' dan 'other'?

< J >

another dipake untuk penambahan tunggal (singular)
other: dipakai untuk penambahan jamak (plural)

another dan other bisa dipakai sebagai kata sifat (adj.) atau kata ganti (pronoun)

The students in the class come from many places. One of the students is from Sorong. Another student is from Pontianak. Another is from Makassar. Other students are from Jakarta. Others are from Padang.

Another student <-- singular, kata sifat
Another is <-- singular, kata ganti
Other students <-- plural, kata sifat
Others are <-- plural, kata ganti


sedangkan yang menggunakan 'the' biasa dipakai di ujung sebagai penambahan akhir untuk sesuatu yang sudah jelas/spesifik

tunggal/singular:
I have 3 handphones: 1 is cheap, another is expensive, & the other is so-so. (the other is <-- kata ganti)
I have 3 handphones: 1 is cheap, another one is expensive, & the other one is so-so. (the other one <-- kata sifat)


jamak/plural:
I have 5 books: 1 is black, 2 others are white, & the others are yellow. (the others are <-- kata ganti)
I have 5 books: 1 is black, 2 other books are white, & the other books are yellow. (the other books <-- kata sifat)
