About

The word "有的" is formed by combining the verb 有 (yǒu), meaning "to have" or "there is", with the structural particle 的 (de), which nominalizes or substantivizes the preceding element. This combination creates a fixed phrase that functions as a determiner meaning "some" or "there are those who", used to indicate an unspecified portion of a whole, as in "有的人" (some people). The formation directly leverages 的's role in forming possessive or descriptive constructions, allowing 有 to refer abstractly to existing things or persons without specifying them.
