How to Say "Another" in French

un autre

/œ̃.n‿otʁ/

The French word for another is un autre.

Use un autre for one more of something, or for a different one of the same kind.

Meaning: one more, in addition to a former number (det)

How does it change in a sentence?

un autre is used with masculine nouns. With a feminine noun the article un changes to its feminine form, while autre stays the same.

The IPA is /œ̃.n‿otʁ/, two syllables. The n of un links to the vowel of autre, so the two words sound like one.

Do not drop the article. autre on its own does not mean another, so say un autre.

The word autre is the root of autrui, a special French term used in legal and moral contexts to refer to 'other people' as a collective group.
The French autre shares a common ancestor with the English word 'alter', as both derive from the Latin root for 'the other of two'.

Encore un autre !
Another!
Encore un autre ! means Another! and expresses surprise or impatience at one more.
