How would you translate "bilgi edinilmesi hususunu rica ederim"?

In short – how problematic can learners around here say it is to acquire proper stress in Turkish?

It looks like a curious way of saying "I request more information". Can you ask someone and let us know?
However, when we are talking about dark, sky, eye color, or a black dirt, we use more commonly "kara".
e.g. kara gözlü, kara kaşlı
hava karardı (here it is not the word "kara" but the verb originating from it:kararmak)
ellerin kara olmuş! ("your hands became black!" e.g. after a child played outside)
etc, etc...

"Memnun oldum" is an established phrase to mean "nice to meet you". If you say "mutlu oldum", it wouldn't make immediate sense. However, you can perfectly build a full sentence: Tanıştığımız için mutluyum.
