Hello, Jokung, and welcome to English-test.net.

Other and the other are adjectives and modify nouns. The refers to a specific other thing or things:

Other people don't like me.
The other managers don't like me / The other manager doesn't like me.

Others and the others are plural pronouns, and do not modify a noun. The refers to specific other things.

Some people like me and others don't.
Some of the managers like me and the others don't.

Does that help?
