Other is an adjective meaning 'different' and is used as follows : - This car park is closed but the other car park is open. - Some children learn quickly but other children need more time. Other can also be used as a pronoun to refer to things or people. - 80% of the students arrive on time. - The others ( = the other students) are always late. Another expresses quantity, something extra or additional. - There are 6 people for dinner but there are only 5 plates. We need another plate.

another = an + other It is "other" with the indefinite article "an".

thanks for the help guys now it´s pretty clear .

We can say "the other" if we have two objects and it means "the second one". And we use "another" if we have more than two objects.

Example: Can you buy another[ 1 more] blanket? I will go to the other [ different] store to buy a pillow.
