有点 (yǒu diǎn) is a degree adverb meaning 'a little, somewhat' — it always precedes an adjective or verb to indicate a slight degree. It often carries a subtle nuance: when used with adjectives, it frequently implies the speaker finds the quality somewhat negative or unexpected (e.g., 有点贵 'a bit expensive'). Unlike 一点儿 (yì diǎnr), which can be placed after the verb or noun, 有点 must come directly before the word it modifies. It can also appear before mental verbs (e.g., 有点喜欢 'kind of like').
