How do you pronounce "دیگر" in Farsi?
Say "dee-GAR," with a long "ee" on the first syllable and the stress landing on the second.
digar
Stress falls on the final syllable, -گر ("-gar"), following the regular Persian pattern, so keep دی- light and don't let it steal the emphasis.

In کتاب دیگری میخواهم, notice دیگری has an extra ی attached — this is the indefinite suffix (the same one seen in چیزی and کسی) combining with دیگر to mean "another" (literally "an-other-one"). The sentence means "I want another book," with کتاب ("book") first and میخواهم ("I want") at the end, following normal Persian word order.
Where English speakers slip
English speakers sometimes confuse دیگر ("other/another") with دگر, an older literary variant, or mispronounce the ر as a heavy American "r" instead of a light tap. It's also easy to forget the extra ی that turns دیگر into دیگری when it directly modifies a noun like کتاب — dropping it changes the phrase from "another book" toward a less natural-sounding construction.
