A most + adjective + noun
Hi. I believe the word "most" can be used to mean "very," as in "a most beautiful flower," which means "a very beautiful flower." Now, can we use it with an uncountable noun, like "most useful equipment," to mean "very useful equipment, or before a plural noun, like "most brilliant ideas" (in this case, not to mean "a bulk or majority of brilliant ideas)? I hope my question is clear. Please help. Thank you in advance for your help.
