1. 1大量、眾多(正式用語)

    A multitude is a very large number of people or things — it's a formal, slightly grand way of saying 'a lot' or 'a huge crowd.' You might read that a leader spoke to 'a multitude' of followers, or that someone faced 'a multitude of problems,' meaning many problems at once. It's more common in writing than casual speech — in daily talk, most people would just say 'a lot of' or 'tons of' instead.
