How many的意思

"How many" is an English phrase used to ask about the quantity or number of something. It is typically followed by a countable noun, and it is used to inquire about the exact number of items or people being referred to. For example:

• "How many apples do you have?"
• "How many students are there in your class?"
• "How many times have you been to Japan?"

The answer to a "how many" question will usually be a number (e.g., "three", "fifteen", "a hundred"). If the context allows for it, a non-specific answer like "a few", "several", or "many" might also be used.

In some cases, "how many" can also be used in a more general sense to inquire about the extent or degree of something, especially when the thing being inquired about can be counted or measured in some way.
