Why is there no 的 after 年轻 ?

[CinnamonTe1]

In general, adjectives with 2 or more characters do require the 的 before the noun.

However, 年轻人 is recognized as its own word in the Chinese dictionary and is considered a 3 character noun. If we were talking about a dog, it would be 老狗 (old dog) and 年轻的狗 (young dog).

I have to remind myself to always check the dictionary when I see something unexpected. I was also confused until I looked it up.

[roman2095]

It is not about the younger ONE. It is just young people. It doesn't need the 的 because it has the 人 instead.

[Hsn626796]

What about " ... these games" ; how can we say this specifically?

[CinnamonTe1]

这些 = these ( 些 replaces whatever measure word is typically used )
这个 = this

这只狗 - this dog
这些狗- these dogs
