     Das erste,andere, dritte, vierte und fünfte Buch von dem Satz, daß Moses zufolge die Träume von Gott geschickt würden.

anderer m (feminineandere,neuteranderes)

1. another (one),others

   Andere (Leute) wussten es früher ―Others know it before

   Wir wollen dasandere (Brot) ―We wantthe other one

   Wir wollen einanderes (Brot). ―We wantanother one

• Its use as an indefinite pronoun follows an adjectival declension and can be used together with the definite article (following the weak declension), indefinite article (with mixed declension) or with no article (strong declension).
• The German word means “other” only in the sense of “different”, not in the sense of “more”. For example,Willst du ein anderes Bier?(literally“Do you want another beer?”) means “Do you want a different beer?”. In order to convey the meaning of “more”, the adverbnoch is used:Willst du noch ein Bier?
• The shortened forms, such asandre orandern (instead ofandere,anderen) are prevalent in pronunciation. It is also correct to use them in writing, although this has become less frequent over the past decades.
• The 1996 reform spelling rules as of 2011 allow spellings likeAnderer when the word is used substantivally (§58 (5) E4). However, forms like this might be nonstandard.
• If we want to use the word predicatively, the adverbialisedanders is used:Sie sind ganz anders.(“They're completely different.”)
