**Tips to remember the word “otra”:**
1. Associate “otra” with the English “other” and notice that both share the “o” as the first letter.
2. Connect “otra” to a visual image of needing an additional item or choice.
3. Remember the phrase “otra vez,” which means “again” in Spanish, as it’s commonly used in conversations.

**Explanations:**
“Otra” is the feminine form of “otro” in Spanish, which means “other” or “another.” It is used to refer to something additional or different in the context of feminine nouns.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
– “Diferente” (different)
– “Adicional” (additional)
– “Una más” (one more, when referring to feminine nouns)

**Alternate meanings like slang:**
In some contexts, “otra” can be used informally to express “let’s go again” or “one more time,” especially in a party or social setting when referring to repeating an action or having another round of drinks.

**Examples of sentences that use it:**
1. “Necesito otra silla, esta está rota.” (I need another chair, this one is broken.)
2. “Voy a comprar otra blusa, esta no me queda bien.” (I’m going to buy another blouse, this one doesn’t fit me well.)
3. “¿Quieres otra taza de café?” (Do you want another cup of coffee?)
4. “Ella escogió otra opción.” (She chose another option.)
5. “Otra vez se ha olvidado de las llaves.” (She has forgotten the keys again.)
