EN: How many?
The official question of every family reunion: '**Ilan** na ang anak mo?' (How many kids do you have?). Or when you're ordering food: '**Ilan** po lahat?' (How many in total?). It's the question word for quantity.
Used to ask about countable nouns. The answer is a number. Pronunciation stress is on the second syllable, distinguishing it from 'ilang' (wilderness).
