Translations: many indeed, many on the one hand, much indeed, much on the one hand
From the root: ΠΟΛΥΣ, ΜΕΝ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Particle
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the adjective 'πολλούς' (many, much) and the particle 'μέν' (indeed, on the one hand). The adjective 'πολλούς' is in the accusative masculine plural form, meaning 'many' or 'much' when referring to masculine plural nouns as direct objects. The particle 'μέν' is used to introduce a clause or emphasize a word, often contrasted with 'δέ' (but, on the other hand) in a 'μέν...δέ' construction, indicating a contrast or a two-part statement. Thus, 'πολλούς μέν' would typically mean 'many indeed' or 'many on the one hand', setting up a subsequent contrasting statement.
Inflection: Accusative, Masculine, Plural (for 'πολλούς'); Does not inflect (for 'μέν')
