有所 (yǒu suǒ) — (adv.) to some extent, somewhat (used before verbs to moderate the degree)

Definition

有所 (yǒu suǒ) is a formal, written adverb meaning 'to some extent' or 'somewhat' — it softens the verb that follows (改善, 改变, 不同). It is more literary than just saying a little; use it in writing or reports rather than everyday speech.
