Word derivation for "how many" :
Basque = zenbat, Finnish = kuinka monta (or montako)
Miresua = zenkota
There are countable and uncountable nouns in both Finnish and Basque. In English, how many is used with countable nouns, while how much is used with uncountable nouns. Finnish has different terms for how many and how much, but Basque uses the same word. That figures. For Miresua, guess I'll make another word for how much.
