altele

"Altele" means "others" in English.

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.

  • Nu am terminat toate sarcinile, mi-au rămas altele de făcut.

    I haven't finished all tasks; I still have others left to do.

    This usage of 'altele' signifies remaining tasks distinct from those already completed, standing in for the noun phrase 'sarcinile' (tasks).
