"Nein, ein anderes."

[afrost88]

Why not "No, one other."?

[dTos]

Nein. Das ist nicht gut. Niemand sagt "No, one different". Und es ist nicht "No, a different", es ist "No, a different ONE". Oder, ich denke mehr genauer "No, another"?

[MoonDust]

You have to keep in mind though, that not all languages follow English rules in grammar or syntax. "No, a different" is correct in a LITERAL translation, but literal translations can sometimes be of little use when you're trying to desipher what the speaker/text is really trying to put across. Just translate all the previous german sentences in this course word for word and you'll realise most don't make sense when translated literally.

[paulruescher]

This can't be stressed enough. It should be obvious by now that you simply can't translate word-for-word

[liminal]

"No, one different" should be allowed, "No, a different" makes little sense

[staticmusic34]

Think of it as "No, another."

[GreaTeacheRopke]

"No, an other" should be accepted, I mean come on.

[fiddlestein]

That's not correct English. You can't translate these examples word for word all the time.

[leifalready]

It is correct English, actually. An other isn't contracted but it's often a more precise or formal way of distinguishing difference than saying "another": instead of gesturing sequentially, it shows genuine "otherness." Theoretical discussions often refer to "an other" for that reason.

[Fosna]

Why no "No, other one?" If it's not correct translation how would you translate this sentence to German.

[cephalium]

Why not say "No, an other one" ?
