By Joy Schreiber

[BASH-kah] adj.

another / different

The meaning of başka is different from the meaning of another in the sense of “one more”. Başka means that you want one different from the one that you already have.
Rookie mistake: Saying başka instead of bir tane daha (one more) when ordering another beer.
