avant-garde Explanation: Without context, this is difficult. I usually think of "avant-garde" as an adjective, which typically don't take a plural in English. If it's used as a collective noun, the singular and plural would be the same form, ie. "The poor (people) walked the street." Good luck! |

cutting edge(s) Explanation: Without context, it is hard to suggest the appropriate term in English. In an informal text, "cutting edge" or "cutting edges" may fit. Many of the terms already proposed could imply a plural meaning although they are used in the singluar. |
