몇

Depending on the intonation, 몇 can mean either 'how much', 'how many' or 'some' or 'several'. If the sentence starts with a high pitch and ends with a downward intonation, then it is an interrogative pronoun usually used for asking a question related to numbers and amounts using counters such as 개, 본, and 시. However if the rising intonation comes at the end, it is a indefinite pronoun meaning 'some or 'several.' See the examples below
