You can do it with {su'o}:
{lo su'o re dacti}
means "at least two things", which is pretty much the
same as "things". You need {loi} or {lei} only when the
at least two things act as a mass -- a couple of apples
dropping to the ground at the same time at the same
place counts as a mass, for example.
{loi su'o re plise cu farlu}
Although in most of the cases the lack of this {su'o re}
doesn't lead to ambiguity.

({su'o} on its own means the same as {su'o pa}, btw.)

mi'e darves.
