Usage notes

Common mistakes

另外 is often used as a conjunction at the start of a clause, not as an adverb like 'additionally' modifying a single verb; learners may incorrectly place it after the subject.

Formality

In formal writing, 此外 is preferred over 另外 for enumerating additional points, especially in academic or business contexts.
