as another option or way

Used to show another possible choice or way, different from the first one.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: [Clause]. Alternatively, [clause].
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse "alternatively" with "otherwise". "Alternatively" introduces another possible choice or way (You can take the bus; alternatively, you can walk.), while "otherwise" often describes what happens if the first thing does not happen (You must take the bus; otherwise, you will be late.). Learners also sometimes place it incorrectly inside the sentence; it is most natural at the beginning of a clause, often followed by a comma: "Alternatively, we could leave early."
இணைச்சொற்கள்
instead (Often sounds more direct and simple; does not always carry the idea of politely offering another option.) | or else (More informal and sometimes suggests a warning or consequence; less neutral and polite than "alternatively".) | as an alternative (Very close in meaning but slightly more formal and longer; often used after the option, not before a whole sentence.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
only (Suggests there is no other choice or way, the opposite of offering an alternative.)
