In Chinese, there are "a lot" of ways to say "a lot." “有的是” (yǒu de shì) is one of those ways. However, we need to be very clear: "有的是" is not the same as "有的+是". Unfortunately, these two phrases are extremely close, but their meanings are not the same at all! "有的是" indicates that the amount or quantity of something is very large, and it can sometimes indicate a mood of exaggeration. Structure: Subj. + 有的是 + Noun You can also put the noun at the beginning of the sentence, and put "有的是" at the end, like so: Structure: Noun + Subj. + 有的是 Examples: 他爸是大老板，有的是钱 。(tā bà shì dà lǎobǎn, yǒudeshì qián) = His dad is a big boss. He's got plenty of money. 她是全职妈妈，有的是时间。(tā shì quánzhí māmā, yǒudeshì shíjiān) = She's a full-time mother. She's got plenty of time. 我一个大男人，有的是力气。(wǒ yīgè dà nánrén, yǒudeshì lìqì) = I'm a big man. I've got plenty of strength. 上海这么大的城市，工作机会有的是。(shànghǎi dà de chéngshì, gōngzuò jīhuì yǒudeshì) = Shanghai is such a big city. It's got plenty of job opportunities. 这样的笔我家有的是，这些都送给你。(zhèyàng de bǐ wǒjiā yǒudeshì, zhèxiē dōu sòng gěi nǐ) = There are a lot of this kind of pens in my house. I'm going to give them to you. 这样的资源网上有的是。(zhèyàng de zīyuán wǎngshàng yǒudeshì) = There's a lot of this kind of resources on the Internet. 这种风格的咖啡店上海有的是。(zhè zhǒng fēnggé de kāfēi diàn shànghǎi yǒudeshì) = There are lots of cafes of this kind of style. 别担心。世界上男人有的是，分手了还可以再找。(bié dānxīn. Shìjiè shàng nánrén yǒudeshì, fēnshǒule hái kěyǐ zài zhǎo) = Don't worry. There are a lot of men in the world. You can find someone else after breakup. It's important to note that "有的是" can not be negated. If you want to say the negative statement, you'll have to say "没有很多." #Chinese course # Adult Chinese Teen Chinese Enterprise Chinese Online Chinese hsk Preparation Summer camp  # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
