What does cuanto mean in Spanish?

“Cuanto” (pronounced kwahn-toh) in Spanish is an adjective or adverb that means “all the,” “as much as,” “whatever,” “anything,” or “everything.”

For example, “El genio te dará cuanto desees” means “The genie will give you whatever you desire.” Or, “Ella ignoró cuantos consejos que le dio su madre” means “She ignored all the advice her mother gave her.”

When “cuanto” is an adjective, it must be modified to match the noun it describes (e.g., “cuantos consejos”).

“Cuánto” (with an accent mark) means how much in Spanish.
