ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Generalized quantifier

A generalized quantifier is like a special word that helps us talk about how many or how much of something there is. It's kinda like the word "some" or "all" or "most". These words help us know if there are a few things, a lot of things, or all the things we're talking about.

For example, if we are talking about apples, we might say "Some apples are red". That means there are at least a few red apples. But if we say "All apples are red", that would mean every single apple is red, which we know is not true!

Generalized quantifiers help us be more specific in our language by giving us words to describe how much or how many of something there is.
