One more and another one
Hello!
Is there a difference between:
Would you like one more?
Would you like another one?
Cheers,
Tito

Re: One more and another one
The first suggests that you are being offered one, and will not be offered any more later. The second is not so restricted.
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

Re: One more and another one
"One more" would indicate that you have been given a number of things and are being asked if you would like another unit, whereas "another one" implies that you have a singular item and are being asked if you would like another singular unit.
eg: "Would you like one more biscuit? You have already eaten ten."
"You seem to enjoy the slice of cake. Would you like another one (another slice)?"

Yes, there's a potential difference.
Customer: This pineapple is bruised.
Shopkeeper: Would you like another one?
The shopkeeper isn't asking if the customer wants two pineapples. He's asking whether the customer wants an alternative non-bruised one.

I don't agree. Both can be used whether the person addressed has already had one or more than one.
