À propos de 次第だ・次第で

Coming after another noun, 次第(しだい) 'directly following' is a noun that will often be used in a similar way to a suffix. In these cases, it will be followed by だ, or で and a part (B) statement. In this use, 次第(しだい) will be translated as 'depending on (A), (B)', or '(B) depends on (A)'. (A) will most frequently highlight a person or some specific situation that is considered to be in control of what happens next.

Fun-fact

In all of its nuances, 次第(しだい) just expresses a sequence of events or deciding factors, and what either will or has happened due to that. This link can be seen in other grammar patterns like 次第(しだい) 'as soon as' , and 次第(しだい)です 'due to that', or 'as a result of that'.

        I just encountered the following example:

        育児がどれくらい大変になるかは、夫や家族がどれくらい協力してくれるか次第だ。
        How difficult child raising becomes depends on how much cooperation your husband and family give you.

        Given that 次第 is a noun suffix, I’m trying to understand how this sentence is grammatical. Does か act as a nominalizer here?

        Hey @wrt7MameLZE33wlmpCAV

        か in here marks an embedded question and in some aspects, you can think of it as a noun phrase. Notice that particle 「は」also follows 「か」in
        育児がどれくらい大変になるかは part.

        This phenomenon is fairly common, for example in English you can also use quotations like nouns in some cases like:
        His “you are doing it wrong” is always pissing me off.

        OK, I see. Yeah, it does make sense now that you put it that way. I think I was interpretting the Noun + 次第だ structure too strictly. So 次第 can also be used with noun phrases. That’s good to know. Thanks!
