According to the VISK page linked by Jukka, a kvanttoriadverbi modifies either a) a verb, b) an adjective/adverb or c) a noun phrase.PäähäniSattuu wrote:Hmm, I suppose that in that case I am satisfied that 'paljon' is an adverb which grammatically modifies the verb rather than that 'ihmisiä' modifies paljon.
In "Minun on pakko nähdä paljon ihmisiä.", it's ambiguous whether "paljon" modifies "nähdä" or "ihmisiä", although I'd choose "ihmisiä". (That is, "a lot of people", not "see a lot".)
