I'm sorry, but I can't see how it could.

If {pa plise} means "exactly one apple", then how does this _exclude_
that you know which apple you are talking about?

I really like the proposed phrase {ko dunda da poi plise ku'o mi}.
Syntactically it does not really state that I don't know/care which thing I'm talking
about the same way "any", "irgendein", etc. do it, but due to pragmatics it seems to work out.
At least I can't construct a reading which involves me wanting a specific apple.
In such a situation uttering this phrase seems inappropriate to me.

Any opinions?
