    多量: large amount. The Japanese noun '多量 (たりょう)' means 'large amount'. It is used to describe a significant quantity or volume of something, often in a formal or technical context. This word is commonly used in scientific, medical, or industrial settings to refer to quantities that are notably above average. For example: a large amount of data「多量のデータ」(たりょうのデータ). A large amount of rain fell「多量の雨が降った」(たりょうのあめがふった). It is important to note that '多量' is more formal and less commonly used in everyday conversation compared to synonyms like 'たくさん'.

It's important to note that '他' can sometimes imply exclusion or contrast, depending on the context.
