hi everybody!

I've found this word:有的

when i first saw it, i hadn't got the faintest idea of what it was;honestly i still don't understand the original idea behind that word ( to have of/surely = some?!)

anyway which are other ways to say SOME?

as Somebody

    Something

    Somewhere...

 

thank for the reading!

Somebody 某人
Something 某事
Somewhere 某処

有的 is a Cantonese phase. In Putonghua, 有一些 is more common.
