In a sentence
Unele cărți sunt vechi, altele sunt noi.
Some books are old, others are new.
Here, 'altele' is used as a pronoun to refer to 'cărți' (books) already mentioned, emphasizing the distinction between different subsets.
Am cumparat mere roșii, iar altele galbene.
I bought red apples, and others, yellow ones.
'Altele' replaces the noun 'mere' (apples) mentioned earlier while indicating differentiation by color.
