  2. <p>To refer to just <em>certain</em> members of group, you can use 有的 (yǒude). This usage is normally translated as &quot;<a href="some" class="uri" title="wikilink">some</a>&quot; in English. It is often used multiple times in one sentence to refer to different groups.</p>

  4. <p>All you need to do is put 有的 (yǒude) before the nouns there are &quot;some of&quot; in the sentence. If there is already some context, you can omit the subject, and the 有的 (yǒude) can just mean &quot;some&quot; instead of &quot;some of something.&quot;</p>
