What does 事だ mean in this context?


The context:

> Speaker to himself: そこに行って彼に会えば全部分かる事だ

At first I thought the 事だ meant "should" but on second thought realized that
meaning of 事だ actually indicates that you're advising or warning someone, and
not that an outcome is to be expected. So then what does it mean? Does it mean
something like だろう in this context?




In this case, 事 makes a noun phrase:

> そこに行って彼に会えば全部分かる事
>
> what I can completely know if I go there and see him

Notice that the subject is omitted in your sentence. The subject may be **それ**
(it). So the construction of the sentence is as simple as `(それは)～だ` (`It is
...`).

Lastly, I think こと instead of 事 is preferred when making a noun phrase.
