有点 vs 一点
yǒu diǎn vs yì diǎn
Comparing "youdian" and "yidian"
有点 comes before the adjective and complains; 一点 comes after it and asks for a change.
有点 + Adj. (complaint) · Adj. + 一点 (request)
How it works
这衣服有点贵,便宜一点吧 — this is a bit expensive, make it a bit cheaper. Both mean "a bit", but they sit on opposite sides of the adjective and do opposite jobs.
有点 describes an existing state you're not happy with. 一点 asks for or states an adjustment.
That's why 有点 rejects positive adjectives, while 一点 accepts anything: 大一点, 快一点.
