</span><p>Assuming we're talking about <b>parmaq,</b> this isn't too bad,
but it doesn't ask <i>how much?</i> Rather, you might ask a
question like this: <b>parmaqmo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang?</b><i>
What are you willing to do for me out of romantic-aggressive
love?</i> Or you might ask for a description instead of a
quantity: <b>parmaqlIj yIDel</b><i> Describe your love!</i></p>
<p>If we're talking about some other kind of love, we have to agree
to treat <b>muSHa'</b> as meaning <i>love.</i> The noun form is
<b>muSHa'ghach.</b> A person, of course, is <b>bang.</b> Then you
can say things like <b>chomuSHa'mo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang</b> and
<b>chomuSHa' 'e' yIDel.</b><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
