uno de los puntos más poderosos?

Question

Does "poderosos" refer to "puntos" and thus plural? Or should it be "poderoso" referring to "uno"? Ultimately it is referring to a single point so logic dictates it should be singular. How important is this? The original text is plural.

mil gracias!

Answer 1

poderosos refers to puntos

Roma tenía uno de los ejércitos más poderosos de su tiempo.

Roma tenía el ejército más poderoso de su tiempo.

Answer 2

If I diagram your phrase, I agree with mediterrunio. Even in English, "powerful" describes "points" and from all points you refer to one of them. (Also, mediterrunio is a native Spanish speaker, no? )

Answer 3

Uh oh,,,There seems to be a disagreement here. Thanks for your replies. Can anyone else help settle this?

Answer 4

Poderoso = powerful, Un hombre poderoso, A powerful man, unos hombres poderosos, some powerful men. Sorry I misunderstood your question now I understand so I would say. Es uno de los puntos más poderoso.
