another is asking for one more of the same item

- Another + singular noun
- Other + plural noun
And there is also "others"
- Others (a pronoun to replace other + plural noun)

I think the picture, in English, is =
You are the universe, and I am just a star.

But, about 'other' and 'another'..

*Other means ‘additional or extra’, or ‘alternative’, or ‘different types of’.
-The website has information about cats. Other animal information can be obtained by looking at other websites.
-Some music calms people; other music has the opposite effect.
-This one’s too big. Do you have it in other sizes?

*When we use the indefinite article 'an' before 'other', we write it as one word: another. Another means
1.one more
-Would you like another cup of coffee?

2. an additional extra
-You've met Fluffy, but I have another cat you haven't met.

3.an alternative, or different.
-I don’t like this place. Is there another café around here we could go to?

Hope this helps :,)
