RiotNrrd:
mnlg:Yes. Even though I wouldn't be sure of what you meant (the utmost human beings?).
Ah, I see what you mean. I guess sometimes it's helpful to see how what you want to say isn't really what you are saying. I would have thought "plejaj homoj" would mean "most people", but I see now that it really means "people who are 'most'", which isn't quite the same thing at all (in fact, I have no idea what that means either).

Good clarification.
Let's try with another noun instead of human beings. What about "plejaj granduloj"? The tallest ones, maybe?? demando.gif

If so, "plejaj homoj" would be the human-most ones... So I guess it could approximately fit piteredfan's idea of the concept...

Even "plejaj granduloj" doesn't make that much sense. To mean "the tallest ones", I would say "la plejgranduloj" or "la plej grandaj uloj" I would think that "plejaj granduloj" would mean "utmost big ones" (whatever that means)
