plenty of

phraseA2Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

Plenty of means a large and satisfying quantity of something. Not just enough — comfortably more.

It works with countable and uncountable nouns alike, so plenty of chairs and plenty of time are both correct, which makes it more flexible than many or much. It is reassuring by design, and saying there is plenty of time is what somebody says to calm you down. The noun plenty on its own means abundance, and it survives in phrases like a land of plenty.
