since; because
What does -으니까 (eunikka) mean in Korean?
How to Use
Used to give a reason, especially before a command, suggestion, or invitation.
Rule: After a stem ending in a consonant, use -으니까 (먹으니까). After a vowel, drop the 으 (가니까). Stems ending in ㄹ also drop it (만들다 → 만드니까). Unlike -어서, this one can come before a command.
Examples
비가 오니까 우산 가져가세요.
Take an umbrella since it's raining.
시간이 없으니까 서두르자.
Let's hurry since there's no time.
맛있으니까 한번 드셔 보세요.
It's good, so give it a try.
