Part-of-speechadj-pn
English 1various
CommentI'm curious as to why I find no (a couple only under Eijiro) for this expression, which I used on a daily basis. Also I find nowhere, not even in Edict, おうぜいなかた, which also used very frequently as a polite way of saying "many people". Not finding these is like hearing your own name does not even exist. Help: jpnthailand@gmail.com Thanks

Editorial Comment Don't understand the first question: (why I find no). 色んな is in lots of dictionaries.
おうぜいなかたて? What about おおぜいのかた? It gets 272 Googits; おうぜいなかた and おおぜいなかた get none. I really can't see reasons for an entry for 大勢の方.
