believe it or not, {chay'} was my first thought; but I didn't know whether saying {chay' tlhIngan Hol DaparHa'}, actually conveyed the meaning of "how much do you love klingon ?".
On the other hand, asking "how do you love klingon", forces the recipient of the question to describe "a/the way" in which he loves it, thus actually/indirectly answering the "how much do you love klingon". hmm.. I don't know.. perhaps..
Unless of course, we could use {chay'} in conjuction with something else.. but what could that be ? So far, I can't think of something..

if I want to ask: "how much do I love souvlakia ?" then how do I say it ?
I can't find a way to say this with {'ar} because this must follow a noun; but here the "how much" refers to the verb "love": "how much do I love.."
so, what do we do here ?
Consider {chay'}.
