You can't. The two have very different meanings. "One another" is a reciprocal expression, and "some others" is not. |

Kitti said "another one", not "one another". Or did Kitti revise the message after you replied?
There may be situations where "some others" and "another one" can be used interchangeably; but there will be many situations where they cannot. If you are thinking of a specific sentence or context, please provide it. |
