can "많이" be omitted from this sentence?

[KittyBlossom0802]

No. 얼마나 많이 means "how many". 얼마나 means "how" and 많이 means "many". So it can't be omitted.

[BruceGigis]

얼마나 means "how much" instead of "how", source: Google Translate (Translation verified by Translate Community).

The "how" you are referring to could be 어떻게.

[Madhumitha_N]

Exactly. Then why '많이' added when '얼마나' itself means 'How much'? I think the sentence sounds natural by removing '많이' word. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[CosmoDC]

I think it can, based on what I read from a reddit post.

"몇" = "얼마나 많이 : how many" but usually we omit "많이" like "how many do you want to eat?"

너는 얼마나 (많이) 먹고싶어? = 너는 얼마나 먹고싶어? = 너는 몇 개 먹고싶어?

Could this also be translated as "몸에 뼈 몇 개가 있어요?"
