How It Works
What varies? The main clause says what changes or is decided. The nuo phrase names the factor it depends on.
Style. Priklausomai nuo is common in formal writing. A finite verb can be simpler: Kaina priklauso nuo sezono. This says the price depends on the season.
A whole clause. To name a factor as a clause, use nuo to, kaip... or nuo to, ar.... The comma separates that following clause. Do not treat every use of this formal phrase as a grammar error.
