  9. <p>一点 (yīdiǎn) and 有点 (yǒudiǎn), usually pronounced 一点儿 (yīdiǎnr)
    10. 

  10. and 有点儿 (yǒudiǎnr) in northern China, all mean pretty much the same
    11. 

  11. thing, "a little" or "a bit," but they have different uses in
    12. 

  12. sentences.</p>
    13. 

  13. <h2 id="used-with-nouns">Used with Nouns</h2>
    14. 

  14. <p>一点 (yīdiǎn) can be placed before a noun to mean "small
    15. 

  15. quantity," like 一点水，一点钱 while 有点 (yǒudiǎn) can't be used this way.
    16. 

  16. Note that 有点 is also a shortened form of 有一点，which means "there is
    17. 

  17. a little something. A few examples to help you understand:</p>

    30. 

  30. <p>有点 (also 有点儿) is placed before an adjective, and it usually
    31. 

  31. expresses something that the speaker doesn't want or his own
    32. 

  32. negative feelings about something.</p>
    33. 

  33. <p>一点 (also 一点儿) cannot be placed before an adjective. Instead, it
    34. 

  34. is placed <em>after</em> adjectives. The adjectives that can be
    35. 

  35. used are particularly limited. 一点 is often used when comparing, or
