Summary The biggest difference between these two words is that “another” is always singular and does not describe anything specific. “Other” is used for plural and noncount nouns that are general. We only use “the other” to refer to specific nouns.

The primary difference between another and other is that both another and other are determiners, but another precedes singular countable nouns or pronouns. Conversely, other precedes a plural countable as well as uncountable nouns and pronouns.

The rules are the same as "another" except that "other" is used before plural or uncountable nouns.

'Other' and 'another': are similar in their meanings. They both are used to refer to an alternative or additional thing. ' Another ' refers to 'one' more, while 'other ' refers to 'more than one' more additional option. He has another friend who works in Chase's, too.
