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:

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!
