Talk:so many

negative particle
Hi, I think its meaning is different when a negative particle (only, not, etc.) precedes it. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

only/just so many/much
only/just so many/much, being a limited or small number or amount; being a limited amount or quantity; up to a certain point or maximum: [https://www.wordreference.com/definition/so ''I can eat only so many pieces of fruit. Just so much that one can do in such a case''.] Are they really idioms? --Backinstadiums (talk) 01:08, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
