Questions & Answers about Eu quero outra.

Why is outra feminine? How do I choose between outro and outra?

Portuguese indefinite pronoun/adjective outro changes for gender and number. outra is feminine singular, outro is masculine singular. You choose based on the noun you're replacing or modifying. Since the implied noun is feminine (e.g. fatia, garrafa, peça), you use outra. If the thing were masculine (e.g. gole, livro, copo), you'd say Eu quero outro.

Can outra stand alone without a noun?

Yes. Here outra functions as an indefinite pronoun replacing a feminine singular noun already mentioned or understood from context. Instead of saying Eu quero outra fatia, you can drop the noun and simply say Eu quero outra (“I want another one”).

Is the eu in Eu quero outra necessary? Can I say Quero outra?

Subject pronouns like eu are optional in Brazilian Portuguese because the verb ending -o already indicates first person singular. Quero outra is perfectly correct and common in everyday conversation. You might include eu to add emphasis or clarity.

Is Eu quero outra too direct or impolite? How do I make it more polite?

Eu quero outra is straightforward and may sound blunt in formal settings. To soften it, you can say:

• Eu gostaria de outra
• Posso ter outra, por favor?
• Or use Mais uma, por favor when ordering food or drinks.

What’s the difference between outra and mais uma?

Both can mean “another one” or “one more,” but:

• outra highlights “another” of the same kind (e.g. “I want another one”).
• mais uma literally means “one more.”
  In many restaurant or bar contexts, Mais uma, por favor is very common. Eu quero outra feels a bit more general.

How do I say “I want another one” if the items are masculine or plural?

• Masculine singular: Eu quero outro
• Feminine plural: Eu quero outras (“I want others”, when those items are feminine)
• Masculine plural: Eu quero outros
  If you need to specify a quantity, you’d say Eu quero mais duas or Eu quero mais dois, etc.

What’s the difference between outra and a outra?

• outra (without the article) means “another one” (indefinite).
• a outra (with the definite article a) means “the other one” (definite).
  Use Eu quero outra to order an additional item. Use Eu quero a outra when choosing between specific options (e.g. “I want the other one [of the two].”).
