Long explanation:
The Mandarin Chinese phrase '多 (duō)' is used to signify that the quantity, amount, or degree of something is a lot or more than expected. It can be used preceding a verb to express 'doing something a lot or to a large extent' and after a verb to denote 'doing something too much'. It is equivalent to the English 'many' or 'much' depending on the context.
