Hydra,
From High-School French and a few trips abroad I agree that the literal translation is: I am the (an) other.

According to BabelFish , it is "I Is another"



I am an other would be je suis un autre. This has got to be a usage of Je for something like Freud's Ego (das Ich).


I disagree. The verb "suis" means "to have", does it not?
It is proper in French to state your age by saying, "Je suis douze ans" (I have 12 years). But, the French verb 'etre' (to be) is conjucated as Je est (and properly becomes J'est).
