How do you say "extra". As in, I have 3 things, I only need 2 so the third is "extra".

extra → anplis

 1. Mwen gen youn anplis.
    I have an extra one.

 2. Mwen gen twa valiz men mwen sèlman bezwen de (2). Sa vle di mwen gen youn anplis.
    I have three bags but I only need two. This means I have an extra one.

 3. Mwen gen yon valiz anplis.
    I have an extra bag.

    In that case, what would be the difference between "one more" and "one extra":
    "youn plis" vs "your anplis?

      youn anplis or youn an plis means one more, another one, an additional one, an extra one

      I guess we would say anplis instead of plis.
      plis → more
      anplis → additional
