Help clarify meaning of a sentence

Hi everyone,

Could someone please clarify the meaning of the sentence below?

普段連絡のない人から連絡がたくさん来ました。

Is he saying that someone who usually doesn’t contact him did so several times or that many people who don’t usually contact him did?

Thank you in advance!

In general, in Japanese the same word is used for both the singular and plural version of a noun. That includes hito / 人, so with just 「普段連絡のない人から連絡がたくさん来ました。」 by itself it's impossible to tell whether the speaker is talking about just one person or many people. More context would be necessary to say for sure which one it's meant to be.

I notice you have a different thread that shows context. From the context, isn't it obvious that it means the latter? Translating is always all about context.

Hi . . . . and Uco,

Thank you so much for replying!
