RiotNrrd:Let's try with another noun instead of human beings. What about "plejaj granduloj"? The tallest ones, maybe??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.

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)
