"Very many" - is this combination acceptable? I've read on some forum, that it may be used in negative context and in questions, like "I didn't meet very many people at the party" "Did you meet very many people at the party?" But I still doubt if it's correct and sounds natural. Thx)

I don't think it is correct either. Did you meet a lot of people there? That's more natural. I didn't meet too many people there. That is an acceptable answer.

or you could also say,, "I haven't met so many people at the party" or "I didn't meet so many people at party" that kind of nuance... I could teach you more...

Or "have u talked someone at the party" or "Do you happen to meet someone at the party" you could use some of these phrases and it sounds perfectly natural and polite...

yes indeed, Grammatically correct but it doesn't sound natural, some Americans would say "did u meet someone at the party"

SO + MANY is also acceptable
