另外

另外 is an adverb meaning 'in addition' or 'furthermore.' It is used to introduce additional information, ideas, or points in a conversation or text.

The character 另 (lìng) originally meant 'other' or 'another,' while 外 (wài) means 'outside' or 'external.' Together, they form a phrase that conveys the idea of 'in addition to the above' or 'furthermore.'

Another common usage is to add another point or detail, often in spoken or written Chinese. It can also be used in contexts like 'another thing' or 'additionally.' In daily conversations, it helps to make speech more fluid and logical by connecting ideas or listing items.
