Which quantifier is many?

If the passages uses the word "many" as it does in this passage, does that signify the "some" quantifier? Because we don't know how many so we don't know if it is most?

Hi!

Exactly. "Many" is so vague that we just use the quantifier "some" to represent it. You said it correctly, we don't know how many so we can't assume that it is most.

Keep up the good work!
