• MUCH

1. adj., multus; largus (copious, abundant). (☞ This word must often be rendered in Latin by the neuter multum and a genitive: multus is used as an adjective when it is convertible into many; as a substantive, with a genitive, when it may be represented by the English great or large.) I want much money, mihi multum pecuniae opus est: to bestow much pains upon anything, multum et industriae in aliqua re ponere, collocare (Cic.): the thing costs much pains, res est multi, magni, laboris: to have much leisure, otio abundare: so much, tantus: I have not so much leisure, tantum otii mihi non datum est: thus much I had to say, write, haec hactenus; haec sunt quae dicenda putavi; haec habebam, quae dicerem, scriberem: to eat too much, modum excedere in edendo: nimium esse in edendo: not to be of much consequence, parvi esse momenti.

2. adverb, multum; magnopere; with comparatives also multo, longe. Too much, nimium; nimis plus aequo; satis superque: by how much, quanto: by so much, tanto.
