Singular Indefinite Pronouns
To talk about unspecified people or things without repeating their names, use indefinite pronouns. These must agree in gender with the noun they replace.
For masculine nouns, use unul (one) and altul (another one).
| One is new, and another one is old. | Unul este nou, iar altul este vechi. |
For feminine nouns, use una (one) and alta (another one).
| I found two jackets. One is black, and another one is gray. | Am găsit două jachete. Una este neagră, iar alta este gri. |
| The girl chose one, and the woman chose another one. | Fata a ales una, iar femeia a ales alta. |
Plural Indefinite Pronouns
To talk about groups, use the plural forms: "some" and "others".
For masculine groups, use unii (some) and alții (others).
| Some read the book, others sleep. | Unii citesc cartea, alții dorm. |
For feminine groups (and neuter nouns in the plural), use unele (some) and altele (others).
| Some are expensive, but others are cheap. | Unele sunt scumpe, dar altele sunt ieftine. |
Making Comparisons
Indefinite pronouns are useful for comparing (a compara) choices, such as a different variant (varianta), or contrasting portions of a larger group like the majority (majoritatea).
| I have compared this variant with another one. | Am comparat această variantă cu alta. |
| The majority understood the lesson, but some have questions. | Majoritatea au înțeles lecția, dar unii au întrebări. |
| I saw the cars. The majority are old, but others are new. | Am văzut mașinile. Majoritatea sunt vechi, dar altele sunt noi. |
