### Expressing "So Much"

To express "so much" with an uncountable noun (like food or dust), use the quantitative demonstrative **atâta**. It does not change its form in the singular, regardless of the noun's gender.

{{item:1166490}}

{{item:1166491}}

### Expressing "So Many"

With countable objects or people ("so many"), the demonstrative changes to match the gender of the plural noun.

For masculine plural nouns, use **atâția** (or **atâți**):

{{item:1166494}}

For feminine and neuter plural nouns, use **atâtea**:

{{item:1166498}}

{{item:1166503}}

### Dealing With Excess

When collections become **copleșitor** (overwhelming), you might need to sort (**a tria**) or completely get rid of (**a se debarasa de**) things that feel **sufocant** (suffocating). Notice how **atâta** is used again below for the uncountable noun *mobilă* (furniture):
