"Wolałbym zjeść coś innego."

Translation: I would prefer to eat something else.

What is wrong with "I would eat something else"?

[Jellei]

It's a different verb, it translates to "zjadłbym"/"zjadłabym".

[mph.vgc]

Thanks Jellei, but I am still confused, could you elaborate a bit more please. I hope I got it right. So, I can't say "I would like to eat..." - correct? I can only say "I would rather like to eat..."

[Jellei]

"I would like" from the Polish perspective is literally "I would want" (chciałbym/chciałabym), which I think English doesn't really use much. Anyway, your answer is of course very close, but we don't allow changing the verb into a different one when translating.

[GrahamKissack]

Just to mention that we would also say "I would prefer something else to eat."

[Jellei]

Sure, added now.

"I would like to eat something other" - why not?

[mihxal]

Does anybody say "something other"?

[8KAITO8]

"Something else" is the best answer, "...something different" could also work here.

"Other" is used mainly when you compare things and refer to definite things, for example "This house is other than that house".

[WarsawWill]

We certainly wouldn't use "other" like that in BrE. It would be - "different from this house" - this use of "other than" seems pretty rare and rather academic.

[WarsawWill]

When it means "different" we don't use "other" on its own but with "the" before a noun or "one" (to mean the second of two), or we use "another".

"I don't want to eat this pie. I want to eat the other one/another one"

The difference between "other, different, next" causes especial problems for Polish students.
