“其他”语出《国语·晋语四》:“民生安乐,谁知其他?”

需要指出的是历史上“它”一直与“他”相通,“其它”“其佗”是“其他”的通假写法。

《现代汉语词典》七个版本都将“其他”立为正条;将“其它”立为附条,释为“同‘其他’(用于事物)”。

其他垃圾=其它垃圾

其他问题=其它问题

其他学校=其它学校

但:

“其他群众”不能写作“其它群众”。

Editor:
1) I think "else" is unnecessary and unhelpful ... and even wrong.

For one thing, it's an unusual adjective in that it comes *after* the noun, as in "someone else", whereas 其它, like most English adjectives, can come *before* the noun.

Secondly, afaics, it matches "some ... else" rather than just "else". For example, 其它地方 means "some place else" or "somewhere else" — not "place else" or "else place".

Let me know if I'm missing something here.


2) As for "only referring to things", which non-things are you proposing to exclude?

*Everything* is technically a "thing", but I'm sure you are proposing to exclude only certain types of things. All living things, perhaps? Does that include plants and animals, or just people? Well, I found repeated usage of 其它 in reference to plants, animals *and* people in a professionally edited publication (Taiwan Panorama), so I'm not convinced there is much value in making the vague statement that 其它 refers only to "things".

然而,就像其它的作者一樣,這類對於中國自身弱點的吐露,仍然伴隨著很強的仇外心態。

我把握住這個機會,邊撥開安全人員邊叫:「He is calling me!」,闖了過去,警衛回過神來,馬上結起手來擋住其它人,我就搶了個第一。

打從去年起,葛麗雅•莫娜達和其它數種哥國稀有蘭花終於含笑再現久違的故鄉山林。

但我也提醒鄉親要注意兩點:第一,不要有沙文主義,不要因此排斥其它族群。

只見她食指向上,其它四指收起,

所有生命都是人類的朋友,除了人的生命重要、需要呵護外,其它的生命也是同樣重要的,

而其它業者是否受此刺激鼓舞而延續向異領域借將用才,是可期待與觀察的。

把其它本土蟻群逼得逐一衰亡。

當無辜犀牛和其它野生動物,在人類的無度需索下瀕臨滅種;

扮成歌舞女郎,濃妝豔抹來到戲院,和其它觀眾加入這場電影狂歡秀。
