"Potřebujeme ještě jeden jídelní lístek."

Translation: We need another menu.

I dont know, Im not a native speaker in english but wouldnt another menu be one that is different from the one (s) that are already there?

[BoneheadBass]

In English, "another menu" can be either one that is different from the one that is already there OR an additional menu of the type that is already there.

[HenriqueMa402882]

I translated "ještě" by "still" and therefore wrote "We still need another menu". It was considered incorrect. Why?

[VladaFu]

ještě jedno - one more

ještě potřebujeme - we still need

[yoelchico]

How about "we still need one menu"?

[VladaFu]

See my answer elsewhere.

[marulin3]

We need the one more menu. Is it possible?

[VladaFu]

The "the" is superfluous. Just "one more menu".

[BoneheadBass]

"THE one more menu" is incorrect in English. If you were speaking about a particular, known menu, you could say something like, "We need the other menu" or "We need the different menu" -- emphasizing "other" or "different" -- to indicate that you do not want the one that you were given. (IMO, using "other" would be better.)

Is a direct translation of the czech jídelní lístek "eating list"?

[AgnusOinas]

Almost. "jídelní" is derived from "jídlo" which is "food" or "meal". That in turn is derived from the verb "jíst" (eat), but that's going one step too far.

And a "list" would be "seznam" in Czech, while the Czech word "list" is actually primarily a "leaf", but also used as a "sheet". And "lístek" is just a diminutive of that.

So a more accurate literal translation of "jídelní lístek" would be a "food sheet" or "meal card" (as in "à la carte")
