Avoid literal translations

While 'other person' is accurate, 'another person' flows more naturally in English when referring to a non-specific individual.

📖Word Origin

Composed of '다른' (other, different) + '사람' (person). The phrase is a direct combination of two native Korean words with no foreign influence.

📝Usage Notes
