A word that is more than one but less than 2 is the word for “more than one”

How many people should I bring? Which one can I bring? Maybe ‘1 1/2’ friends? What are some examples of a “singular” question (=1) that was ambiguous and “plural”. The answer is in the form of “plural” (=1).

What is a word that could refer to an all-digit value between 1 and

2.

In general, this would be expressed in plural. In fact, all numbers other than one will be plural, which the caveat that “one quarter of a pie” is singular, while “0. “25 pie” is plural.

Is 1 1/2 friends totally false? I want one or 2 friends. I don’t think so, though the original answer is valid with a few lines of thought. “2 1/2 children” is a classic expression for the amount of children in average homes, but only when it’s meant to be taken as an average. What happens to the families who live in the town that have no kids? Can nir 5 children but possible have 2? I have 5 children

on average. (Age up to 5.)
