This is an interesting point; unfortunately though, the answer which usually comes to mind to the question "how much do you love me ?", is indeed "a lot"..
I don't know.. Maybe perhaps something like {jIHvaD vItlh'a' parmaqlIj ?}. But again, even if this works, it still requires a noun to serve as subject for the {vItlh}.
Assuming we're talking about *parmaq,* this isn't too bad, but it doesn't ask /how much?/ Rather, you might ask a question like this: *parmaqmo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang?*/What are you willing to do for me out of romantic-aggressive love?/ Or you might ask for a description instead of a quantity: *parmaqlIj yIDel*/Describe your love!/ If we're talking about some other kind of love, we have to agree to treat *muSHa'* as meaning /love./ The noun form is *muSHa'ghach.* A person, of course, is *bang.* Then you can say things like *chomuSHa'mo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang* and *chomuSHa' 'e' yIDel.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
