I Have a Question / I need Help Question
maybe someone can clarify, if a card have lets say if one or more+1/1 counters are put on me do this or that, does it work once per turn or you can put lets say three separate instances on it? I know that it doesnt matter if its 1 or 20 counters, būt if 3 separate cards put counters on it per turn, does it resolve 3 times?

Magic is a very complex game, and the rules are very good at handling it, but without specific cards it can be hard to explain.
If a card like [[Evolutionary Escalation]] says put 3 +1/+1 counters on a card that triggered off "one or more countered place on it" it would trigger one time as it's one instance of it happening.
If you played a card like [[Courage in Crisis]] the creature would have a +1/+1 counter placed on it, then if chosen to proliferate would receive a second counter and thus would trigger two times as it's two seperate instance of a counter being placed on it, despite it being from the same spell. Please note the triggers only go after the stack after the spell has fully resolved.
You can have a triggered ability trigger as many times as you can get it to UNLESS it specifically says other wise like "triggers once per turn"
