I am still not completely clear as to the possitive and accusative suffixes of the following sentence or the sentence construction .What is most confusing me is that ne kadar is an adverb of quantity and not a noun following a noun
FRANSIZCANIN NE KARDARINI HATIRLIYORSUN ?
CALIPTRIX has given me many other examples of similar sentences which help but here again i am unclear as to why in the first sentence the ending for kardar is ini and in the second just i [the accusative case ].The examples he has given me are equally divided between the two types
Filmin ne kadarini uzledin
Arabanin ne kadari güzel
I am in need of further help on this one as the 4 grammar books i have got do not deal with this point only the noun followed by a noun construction
Thanks

root is "birşeyin ne kadarı" means nearly:"how much of something"
and the difference between the sentences you asked is not linked with the "ne kadar". It is about the behaviour of the verb.
filmin ne kadarı/izlemek
izlemek is watch, birşey+i izlemek (accusative)
filmin ne kadarını izledin?
In this example, n is needed to say accusative vowel after the vowel ı
and the other example:
arabanın ne kadarı güzel?
arabanın ne kadarı/güzel olmak
güzel olmak: to be beautiful
here arabanın ne kadarı is subject, so it doesnt need a suffix, because it is not accusative here.
in the previous example, filmin ne kadarını izledin the last n refers the subject, it is "sen"(you).
If the form of translation is right:
how much of the film did you watch?
how much of the car is beautiful?
