Quantifiers

The class of quantifiers includes a variety of related sub-categories which all concern the specification of the quantity. This class includes words like:

• གང་ག་ “All”
• གཉིས་ཀ་ “Both”
• ཁ་ཤས་ “Some”
• ཉུང་ཉུང “A few”
• མང་པོ་ “Many”

Quantifiers also include particles such as:

• ཙམ་ “Merely”
• ཁོ་ན་ “Only” or “exclusively”
• གཅིག་པོ་ “Only” or “alone”

Finally, quantifiers also include interrogative determiners such as:

• སུ་ “Who”
• ག་གི་ “Which”
• ག་ཚོད་ “How many”

Quantifiers always follow the numeral, but may either precede or follow the demonstrative.
