To say "a few" or "a few of them" about a group you've already mentioned, use quelques-uns (masculine) or quelques-unes (feminine). They must agree with the gender of the noun they replace.
Feminine: Quelques-unes
Use quelques-unes to replace a feminine plural noun like les truffes (the truffles).
| I would like some truffles, please. | Je voudrais des truffes, s'il vous plaît. |
| A few of them are melting. | Quelques-unes sont fondantes. |
Masculine: Quelques-uns
Use quelques-uns for a masculine plural noun like les chocolats (the chocolates).
| Here are the chocolates. A few of them have caramel. | Voici les chocolats. Quelques-uns ont du caramel. |
Placement
While often used as the subject of a sentence, these pronouns can also appear at the end of a thought to clarify a quantity.
| I bought some truffles, just a few of them. | J'ai acheté des truffes, juste quelques-unes. |
