HSK 6 Pronouns & determiners

其余

The rest / the others (其余)

Structure Mentioned part,其余(的)+ remainder = "… and the rest / the others"

其余 (qíyú) means "the rest / the others": what remains of a set once the already-mentioned part is taken out. 一半留下,其余的都走了 = "half stayed, the rest all left". It belongs to the written, formal register, typical of expository prose and reports. The contrast with 其中 is sharp: 其中 points to ONE part of the set, whereas 其余 names what is LEFT OVER after that part is set aside. It often takes 的 when used as a noun (其余的), though it can stand directly before a noun.

Examples

  • 一yī半bàn留liú下xià,其qí余yú的de都dōu走zǒu了le。

    Half stayed; the rest all left.

    The top three win prizes; the remaining contestants get only a certificate of participation.

  • 除chú核hé心xīn条tiáo款kuǎn外wài,其qí余yú内nèi容róng仍réng在zài协xié商shāng之zhī中zhōng。

    Apart from the core clauses, the rest of the content is still under negotiation.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
