Usage notes

Collocations

其余 is almost always followed by 的 when modifying a noun: 其余的人 (the rest of the people). It is rare to use 其余 alone as a subject without 的.

Common mistakes

Do not use 其余 for 'another one' in the sense of an additional item; use 另外 for that. 其余 refers to the remainder of a specific set already mentioned.
