一堆

yī duī

English translation of 一堆

bunch

The Chinese word '一堆' is used similarly to how 'bunch' is used in English. It refers to a group or collection of things, or sometimes, people. This could be a bunch of flowers, a bunch of keys, or even a bunch of people. The concept hinges on the idea of multiples combined together.
