Why is 'eat another egg' not accepted? 'eat an egg again' sounds off, doesnt it?

I believe "another egg" = "bir diğeri yumurta"
To my ear, "eat another egg" implies you've just eaten at least one egg and you're being asked to eat one more. While "Eat an egg again" gives a little more space between. Maybe you had eggs for breakfast yesterday, or last month... and it's being suggested that you do that again. But that's just my humble opinion. :-)

"eat an egg again" is a 'command', how does one 'invite' someone to "eat another egg" in Turkish?
You can make more polite requests using the aorist tense. "Bir yumurta daha yer misiniz?" :)

"Eat an egg again" sounds strange in English. "Eat another egg" should be accepted.
