how can that be? — ¿cómo puede ser eso?

how are you? — ¿cómo estás?, ¿cómo or qué tal te va? (LAm) *, ¿qué tal (estás)? (Sp) *

You may take as many as you like. — Можешь взять, сколько хочешь.

- many of the people

USAGE:

(1.) Если существительное many относится к местоимению или к существительному, перед которым стоит притяжательное местоимение или существительное в притяжательном падеже, то оно используется в конструкции с предлогом of: many of them многие из них, many of his books многие его книги, many of Chaplin's films многие из фильмов Чаплина. (2.) See all, n (3.) See few, n
II ['mænɪ] adj
(more [moː], most [məʊst]) много, многие, многочисленные (с исчисляемыми существительными)

USAGE:

(1.) В разговорном языке в утвердительных предложениях предпочитается оборот a lot of. В отрицательных предложениях и общих вопросах, как правило, употребляется many (much), а не a lot of. Сочетание not many (not much) соответствует русским словам "мало", "немного". (2.) Со словами, обозначающими отрезки времени, всегда употребляется прилагательное many (а не a lot of): many days (nights, weeks, times, etc). (3.) Русскому словосочетанию слишком много соответствует too many (too much). Русскому словосочетанию вдвое больше соответствует twice as many/much; вдвое меньше - half as many/much. Сочетание how many/much соответствует русскому сколько. (4.) Many в функции определения обычно употребляется с предшествующим ему very: there are very many people there, to have very many friends. Very не обязательно, если many относится к подлежащему: many houses have been built here recently. (5.) See lot, n, USAGE (1.).
