Άλλος agrees with its noun or referent and can mean another, different or other.

How It Works

Άλλος agrees with its noun or referent and can mean another, different or other.

The article changes the reading: άλλος φίλος can mean another friend, while ο άλλος φίλος identifies the other friend. Do not add an indefinite article in every context merely because English uses another.

Greek	Meaning
Θέλω άλλο βιβλίο.	I want another book.
Η άλλη πόρτα είναι ανοιχτή.	The other door is open.
Ήρθαν άλλοι φίλοι.	Other friends came.
