"Άλλα" means "other" or "else" in English.

In a sentence

Θέλω να πάω διακοπές, αλλά δεν έχω χρόνο.
I want to go on vacation, but I don't have time.
In this sentence, 'αλλά' is used as a conjunction meaning 'but' to show contrast between two clauses.
Πήρα κάποια άλλα ρούχα από το κατάστημα.
I got some other clothes from the store.
Here, 'άλλα' is used as an adjective modifying the noun 'ρούχα', meaning 'other' or 'different' clothes apart from the ones previously mentioned or implied.
Είπε πως τα ήξερε όλα, αλλά έκανε λάθος.
He said he knew everything, but he was wrong.
Once again, 'αλλά' is a conjunction showing opposition or contrast between the claim and the fact.
