Why is 'diye' used in this sentence?

Question:Why is 'diye' used in this sentence?
Term:diye
Lesson: Turkish LingQ - Who is she?, Part 6
Who is she? Part 6: Jane- Çok sayıda sebebi olabilir diye neden söylüyorsunuz?
neden söylüyorsunuz - why do you say?
olabilir - there may be
Çok sayıda sebebi - a large number of reasons/many reasons
I would probably find an explanation in a grammar book, but maybe there is a simple explanation.

Why do you say that there are many reasons?

- diye means: that, so that, so, order: in order to

In this sentence,it means - that -
If this sentence hadn't been a translation, we could have said like that;They roughly have same meanings.

"Çok sayıda sebebi olabilir" diyerek /derken ne demek istiyorsunuz / istediniz? (What do / did you mean ?)
Çok sayıda sebebi olabilir diye neden söylüyorsunuz?



diye / diyerek / derken
