Questions & Answers about Eu quero outro.

What does outro mean in this sentence?
Outro here acts as a substitute for a noun and means another one or a different one (masculine). It’s like saying “another” on its own in English.
Why isn’t there an article (um/uma) before outro?
In Portuguese, outro already includes the idea of one more/another, so you don’t need um or uma. Saying “um outro” is redundant when you simply want “another one.”
How would I say I want another if I’m referring to something feminine?

You switch to the feminine form outra.
• Eu quero outra.
If you name the noun:
• Eu quero outra maçã. (“I want another apple.”)

Can I drop the subject pronoun eu and just say Quero outro?
Yes. Portuguese is a pro-drop language. The verb ending -o already tells you the subject is eu, so Quero outro is perfectly natural.
What is the verb form quero?
Quero is the first-person singular (eu) present indicative of the irregular verb querer (to want). So Eu quero = I want.
How do I make this sentence negative?

Place não before quero:
• Eu não quero outro.
= “I don’t want another one.”

How do I ask Do you want another? in Brazilian Portuguese?

• Formal/informal with você: Você quer outro?
• Informal drop subject: Quer outro?
In regions using tu, you could say Tu queres outro?

What’s the difference between quero outro and quero mais um?

• Quero outro = I want a different one (another).
• Quero mais um = I want one more of the same.

How do I say I want another book?

Add the noun after outro:
• Eu quero outro livro.
= “I want another book.”

How do you pronounce outro?
Outro is pronounced [ˈow.tɾu], roughly OWH-troo, with the stress on the first syllable and a tapped r in the second.
