"tan" can mean "as" (Ex). María es tan bonita como Adriana. Maria is as pretty as Adriana.
It can also mean "so" as in "Pablo es tan tonto. Pablo is so stupid.
Tanto and tantos mean "so much or so/as many" respectively.
No tengo tanto dinero como tú, pero tengo tantos amigos. I don't have as much money as you but I have as many friends,
These can be changed to "tanta" or "tantas" to speak of feminine people or objects.
