(으)니까 can create a similar meaning to 아/어서. “because”, “so”, “therefore”
(으)니까 is more often used when the first clause is an excuse as to why the second clause occurs

경기에서 진 것이 저의 자신감을 꺾었으니까 저는 더 이상 경기하고 싶지 않아요
losing in the game broke my confidence, so i don’t want to play (do it) anymore
can end sentence with (으)니까 when the rest can be assumed
그것을 살 거야? - are u going to buy that
아니요 못 사요. 돈이 없으니까 - no because i have no money
맨날 일회용 물병을 사서 물을 마시니까 방에 병이 많이 쌓여 있어요
i buy disposable water bottles (and drink through them every day) so there’s a lot of bottles piled up in my room
(으)니까 can be used to make a suggestion
밥이 없으니까 라면 먹자 - let’s eat ramen because there is no rice
can ask questions by adding 니 to end of sentence
몇 살이니 ? - how old are you
(으)니 is the same as (으)니까
(으)니 is also commonly used to provide info for the upcoming clause like 는데 but there’s a slight meaning of “because” instead of “even though”
제가 고기를 안 좋아하니 안 먹을 거예요 - because i don’t like meat, i’m not going to eat it
빠래를 다 했으니 지금 자도 돼요
