Questions & Answers about Ik wil graag weten wat het weer morgen is.

Why is graag used in this sentence?

In Dutch, graag adds a polite or enthusiastic nuance, similar to saying "I would like to" rather than just "I want to." It emphasizes that the request or desire is more than just a plain demand.

Why is the word order "wat het weer morgen is" instead of "wat is het weer morgen"?

When embedding a question inside a sentence in Dutch, you treat it like a subordinate clause, so the verb (is) moves to the end of that clause. Hence, "wat het weer morgen is" follows the standard Dutch subordinate clause word order.

Can I leave out graag and just say "Ik wil weten wat het weer morgen is"?

Yes, you can, and it would still be correct. However, omitting graag makes the sentence sound more direct or matter-of-fact. With graag, it sounds more polite or friendly.

Why do we use wil instead of zou willen or other verb forms for "want"?

Using wil (present tense of willen) is a straightforward way to say "I want." If you said Ik zou graag willen weten..., you'd convey a more tentative or polite tone, akin to "I would like to know." It's a stylistic choice and both forms are correct.
