Grammar & Structure Determiners

Also means

another

Usage Note

Autre needs un or l' in front where English just says 'another' — un autre café, l'autre jour for 'the other day'. The pronoun autrui means other people in moral talk, and autre chose neatly packages 'something else'.

Examples

"Donne-moi l'autre livre."

Natural Translation

Give me the other book.
