i love how the word "person" has five tiers of plurality:

  • a person: one person
  • persons: several of specific person
  • people: several of nonspecific person
  • a people: a whole group of person
  • peoples: several of a people

you don't get many words like that!

singular and plural of people seems to be different in other languages too

french une personne / les gens
russian человек / люди
bulgarian човек / хора

but not in some

ukrainian людина/люди
