Questions & Answers about Bugün nem oranının düşeceğini meteorolojiden öğrendim.
How does düşeceğini translate to "that it will fall"?
This is how we make future statements as objects of a sentence. We take the verb düşmek (to fall), add the future suffix -ecek (which softens to -eceğ-), and then the 3rd person possessive -i (its). Finally, we add the buffer -n- and the accusative case -i because the whole phrase is the direct object of the verb öğrendim (I learned).
Why is it oranının and not just oranı?
In these types of clauses, the subject of the action takes the genitive case. The base phrase is the noun compound nem oranı (humidity rate). To link it to the action, we add the buffer -n- and the genitive suffix -ın. Literally, the sentence is structured like "I learned the humidity rate's future falling."
Why is the accusative case used at the end of düşeceğini?
The verb öğrenmek (to learn) requires a direct object. You have to mark the specific thing you learned. Since you learned "that the humidity rate will fall", that entire future clause needs the accusative case -i at the very end to connect it to öğrendim.
Does meteorolojiden really mean "from meteorology"?
Literally, yes. While English speakers usually say they heard it on "the weather forecast" or "the news", Turkish speakers commonly use meteoroloji to refer to the official weather bureau or weather report. Adding the ablative suffix -den gives us "from the weather forecast".
