by how much
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative pronoun/adjective; dative neuter singular (Gr,RT,,,,DNS); used to inquire about amount, size, or extent in a singular, abstract sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative neuter singular form naturally expresses measure or degree, often conveying instrument or extent, hence "by how much." This preserves the interrogative force about quantity or degree while reflecting the dative case. |
