Stands in for a Noun

Use otros by itself to replace a noun you've already talked about. It's like saying 'other ones' so you don't have to repeat yourself.

Forgetting 'los' for 'the others'

Mistake: “Me gustan estos, pero prefiero otros.”

Correction: Me gustan estos, pero prefiero los otros. If you mean 'the specific other ones', you usually need 'los' in front. Just saying 'otros' means 'some other ones in general'.
