"Kial vi volas havi plurajn porkojn?"

Translation: Why do you want to have several pigs?

[trucktiger]

Why not?

[_Travis_]

Oh, no reason.

What is the difference between plurajn and multajn in an instance like this?

[mliekosmedom]

ESPDIC says:

multaj : many, several;
pluraj : more than one, multiple, several

I looked for some example sentences on the internet and came to this conclusion:

Pluraj means that there is "more than one" but not necessary "many/a lot". Multaj is used as "many/a lot".

FYI:
Malmultaj would be "few". I have also seen malpluraj used as "few" but I am not sure if malpluraj is correct (definitely far less common than malmultaj so I would stick to malmultaj; google search: malmultaj 306 000 results; malpluraj 43 results).
